She grew up on the farm where she was born, where she had plenty of exercise, but was not required to work very hard. The society was good and she had plenty of room to romp and play. The organ had taken the place of the spinning wheel of former days and the girls were taught to play which they sometimes reluctantly did, but not in this case. She got a good education in the country schools and then went to Mt. Pleasant to qualify herself for teaching, but did not teach. Alfred Henry Anderson, sixth son of John and Sarah (Sprague) Anderson, was born Apr. 1, 1859, Henry county, Iowa; died 19 . During his minority his parents, natives of the United States, resided in Henry and Washington counties, he staying with them until they went to Kansas in 1883. He worked by the month part of the time and later at putting in tile drains at which he was a skilled hand. His surroundings were good and he contracted no bad habits.

In February, 1890, they went to Cowley county, Kansas, where he had land. This moving was not done in wagons, but horses, wagons, farming utensils and household goods were put in a car and taken by rail, one man going with it to attend to the horses, the family going on the passenger train; a quick way to move; but costing more money. Here he engaged in farming; but finding Kansas a poor country for the business they sold out and in September, 1895, moved in company with other families in wagons, camping out by the way to the old home in Henry county, Iowa. The home farm was for rent and they moved into the house that winter and ran the place successfully for eight years, when the farm was sold and as they had no house on their own land they rented a place joining the home farm and moved on it, where they now live. They attend the Methodist church which she joined in her youth. She is devoted to the cause of the Master. He never made any profession of religion; but is a kind, moral man, willing to help others in the duties of life. "History of Isaac P.
