Anon Anderson Dead.
The death of Anon Anderson, one of the early settlers of Lincoln township, was reported from Ridgeway last week Thursday. Mr. Anderson was not only one of the well-known men of the county, but he was one of the wealthy farmers of his section. He was born in Norway Oct. 14th, 1839, and came to America when about twelve years old. He first resided in Boone county, Illinois, until he was eighteen years old, when he came to this county. Here he lived with and worked for John McKay, in Frankville, township, until 1861. In that year Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Carrie Ingebritson. For a time they lived just over the line in Minnesota, but later came back to Winnesheik county and settled on land in Lincoln township. To them six children were born—Ellen, (Mrs. K. T. Anderson, of Allamakee county,) John, Albert, Ole, Anna (Mrs. T. A. Luros, of Crary, N. D.,) and Anon, Jr. Mr. Anderson was married, three times. His second wife was Miss Sarah Tuck, of Buffalo, N, Y., to whom he was married in 1874. Four children were born to them, and two,—Roy and Freeman— , survive. His third wife was Miss Emma Johnson, of Winona, who with four children — Bernard, Ethel, Laurence and Clarence—with the eight children above mentioned, remain to honor the memory of their father.
Two years ago while in Crookston, Minn., Mr. Anderson fell from the steps of a hotel and dislocated his thigh. Shortly after, while convalescing from this accident, he was jerked from a wagon by a colt he was leading and injured so badly that he has since been confined to his home. On the first of this month he was stricken by paralysis and death claimed him on the 10th inst.
Mr. Anderson was a natural money maker, and in this he was aided materially in an early day by bounteous crops when prices were high. He was enabled in this way to acquire a large amount of land in Lincoln, Orleans and Bluffton townships. With his increasing prosperity came a demand for larger accommodations for stock and the products from his land, and a number of years ago he built a fine home on land in Orleans township where he resided until his death. As his children reached the age of manhood and womanhood he gave them portions of his property, giving each a splendid start in life. Of over a thousand acres he retained but a quarter section and this he bequeathed to his wife. It may be said of him that he was a man honorable in all his dealings and trusted, respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a member of the Orleans Lutheran congregation and his remains were buried in the cemetery of that church.
The funeral was held on Monday last, the anniversary of his birth, and was the largest ever held in that section of the county. All his surviving children were able to be present.
The family of the deceased wish to extend to their neighbors and friends sincere thanks for the many kindnesses shown to them and the departed during his last illness and death.
