Read More	Charles A. Anderson, aged 50, prominent and highly respected citizen of Brookings, and proprietor of the I.X.L. Grocery store, died at his home last Friday night, of pneumonia, after a two weeks illness. Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church Monday afternoon at one o'clock; Rev. B.A. Benson officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery near this city. Mr. Anderson was born in Sarsberg, Norway, November 28th, 1872, being one of a family of eight children, four boys and four girls. His father died when he was six years of age, and his mother died when he was twelve. At the age of fourteen, accompanied by a sister and two younger brothers, Mr. Anderson came to America. For several years he worked in a brass factory in Chicago, Illinois, where his health was impaired. In 1891, he came to South Dakota and on March 7th, 1896, he was married to Dora Olson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Olson of Brookings. Following his marriage, for eight years he engaged in farming in Sterling township. In 1904, he moved his family to this city and for twelve years was connected with the Bee Hive Store. In 1917, he bought the I.X.L. Grocery--one of the leading groceries of the county--and was active proprietor of that store until his death. Mr. Anderson was a good citizen--industrious and hardworking, honest in all his dealings with everyone, and a loving and faithful husband and father. He was of a cheerful, even temperament and made a legion of warm friends during his career in Brookings, who with his family mourn his untimely death.
