Read More	The Farmers' Vindicator (Valley Falls, Kansas) Friday, 3 May 1918 DEATH OF ANDERSON GORDON Anderson Thomas Gordon, son of Thomas and Paulina Gordon, was born at Smithville, Mo. September 27, 1839 in a covered wagon. His parents were emigrating west, but were turned back at the Missouri river on account of Indian troubles in the plains country. When Anderson was six weeks old his parents returned to Putnam County, where they resided until 1852, when they again turned westward stopping two years in Illinois and eighteen months in northern Iowa locating at Valley Falls, Kansas. In the fall of 1855, when Anderson was but 16 years old and his brother "Jim" well known here in the early days, a few years older. Here the family made their home on Walnut creek. On November 17, 1878 Anderson was united in marriage to Clara L. Vanhorn at Valley Falls. To this union were born nine children, seven of whom: Charles B. at Topeka, Mrs. Laura B. Ackley of Dalhart, Texas, Walter L. of Liberal, Kansas, Mrs. Ida M. McCulloch of Lawton, Okla., Mabel P. of Kansas City, Mo., Frank D. in U. S. Service and John M. of St. Joseph, Mo., and their good mother survive. The deaths in the family were Harry Thomas and Mrs. Pearl Post. One brother, Hump Gordon of Arkansas City, and one sister, Mrs. Sallie Ann Grifffin of Kansas City, Mo., survive. His occupation was that of a farmer until he moved to town some years ago. For several years Anse, as he was familiarly known was in failing health. On the first of this April he was taken to the state hospital at Topeka where he died April 18, 1918, aged 78 years, 6 months and 12 days. Death was due to arterio sclerosis. The body, accompanied by his sons Charles and Walter was brought to Valley Falls for burial Saturday morning. The funeral was held from the Christian church Saturday afternoon which society he joined in 1890. Rev. Chas. H. Kimball conducting the services in the presence of most of his family, and many friends. The burial was in the Township Cemetery by the side of his parents. In the passing of Anse Gordon, one among the last of the early pioneers, has gone to his reward. A stalwart, he in his prime, was one of the strongest men in the vicinity, and though peaceable and quiet, was if necessary, ready to defend himself. Father is gone and we shall miss him There will be a vacant chair, But in heaven we shall meet him. There will be no parting there.
