Among the younger representatives of the medical profession in Omaha is Dr. William Nance Anderson, whose position is already a creditable one, while the qualities which he has displayed promise well for future advancement.

Later he reenlisted and was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant in a regiment of Wisconsin artillery which formed a part of the famous "Iron Brigade." He was captured at the battle of Bull Run during the period of his first enlistment and for sixteen months was incarcerated in Andersonville prison. He died in the year 1907 but his widow survives. After mastering the branches of learning taught in the public schools of Osceola Dr. Anderson continued his education in the University of Nebraska. from which he was graduated in 1908. He then took up the study of medicine in the same school and completed his course in 1910. For twenty months he was interne in the Clarkson Hospital at Omaha, which gave him broad and valuable practical experience along professional lines. In June, 1911, he became associated with Dr. Le Roy Crummer, of Omaha, for the practice of internal medicine, to which he now devotes his attention, and already he has attained a creditable place in professional circles.
