Andy Aston was the son of John Aston who came to Hood County when Andy was just two years old.
Aston owned and operated the Aston-Landers saloon on the square with his partner, G.W. Landers. When local voters approved prohibition in 1902, Aston sold every drop of liquor in the saloon; taking in over $100 the night before prohibition took effect. Aston converted his closed saloon into a harness and buggy shop.
