Died in Howard, Kansas, November 13, 1905, age 83 years, 7 months and 29 days. Mr. Anderson was converted early in life and united with the Baptist church. For 68 years he was a consistent member of this church, serving it as deacon for 50 years. He was a native of Indiana and lived in that state and Illinois prior to his coming to Howard in the year 1886. He was married to Martha J. Lefeber November 29, 1848. They raised five children, Mrs. J. B. Trowbridge of Muncie, Indiana, Mrs. A. F. Eby of Howard, Dr. E. W. Anderson of Indianapolis, Indiana, Mrs. J. A. Boutell and Miss Martha Anderson, Howard. His wife, and a brother, W. G. Anderson , age 86, of Colfax, Ill., and the five children survive him. Mr. Anderson was an exemplary citizen, a consistent Christian, and a pillar in the church of Christ. He was a life member of the Kansas Baptist State Convention, and one of the directors of the Howard National Bank. He and Mrs. Anderson celebrated their golden wedding November 29, 1898. Had he lived until the 29th of this month they would have been married 57 years. The funeral service was conducted by his pastor at the Baptist church, in the presence of a large company of his fellow citizens. The sermon was based on Acts 11:24. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith. The pastor spoke of his good parts in the home life, civic life, and church life, Not alone in these things did he excel, but as husband, father, and business man he was above reproach. On coming to Howard he became a leading factor in the life and development of our city, and as an architect and builder had left monuments of his wisdom and good judgment in some of our best buildings, conspicuous among which are the Baptist church, the Howard National Bank building, and the Metropolitan hotel. It can truthfully be said of him: He was a wise master-builder, not alone in temporal things, but in spiritual and eternal things as well. Having served the Master so well and so long, he has now entered into that rest which remain for the people of God.Submitted by L. Morgan
