He came to Washington county in 1902 where he has since made his home, living on a farm four miles southwest of Herman until he moved to Blair six years ago.

Mr. Anderson was twice married but leaves but one son to mourn him.

The funeral services were held in the Danish Lutheran church of this city on last Sunday and interment was made in the Blair cemetery, the body being followed to its final resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives. Among those from a distance in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. S. Lindquist and Mrs. H.C.
