Alphonse Octave Andris was born in Binche, Belgium on November 6, 1906 and died in Marietta Memorial Hospital on January 11, 1984. He came to America with his mother and sister Julia when he was quite young. "Torenne" Victorine scrubbed floors and saved money to bring from Belgium her husband, Arthur, and his two sons by another marriage, Arthur, Jr. and Amy. They were glassblowers, and the father was a skilled craftsman. The family lived for a time in Clarksburg, West Virginia because there is a glass factory there. While Alphonse was still a child, the family moved to Marietta, Ohio, because there was a glass factory across the river in Williamston, WV. However, the family began a grocery store at the corner of Fourth and Green Streets. Arthur suffered from some form of mental illness as the years wore on. In 1937 there was an enormous flood, cresting at 55 feet. Even though the family had moved the groceries to the second floor, the flood destroyed everything. Mrs. Andris never recovered from the shock of this tragedy and died of heart failure about six weeks later. Victorine left the grocery store to the two brothers, Alphonse and Fernand "Squee." This caused a family feud, since Arthur, Jr. felt that the wealth should have been divided equally. Arthur died without ever speaking again to either of his younger brothers. "Al" and "Squee" shared this family grocery for eleven more years. At one point, a new two-story concrete block store was built at 313 Green Street. Fernand helped the contractor lay the block. This was around 1946. But in 1949, Fernand decided to engage in other endeavors, such as real estate. A settlement was made in which Alphonse kept the store and Fernand received a cash amount. Alphonse continued with the store in that same location until his death in 1984. He also lived around the corner at 107 N. Fourth St. for this time with Ethel Turrill Andris. He was a long-time member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. They had three children, Ricky, Jan and Theresa. Ethel had another child, Don, now deceased, by a former marriage.
