Anderson ~md Christina Holt Jane Anderson ~md Abraham Faith Nancy Anderson Francis Anderson John F Anderson ~md Elizabeth Harbaugh Abigail Anderson ~md Charles F. Giaugue Elizabeth Anderson ~md Joseph Sellers Foster Anderson ~md Mary Ann Hardesty ~md Eurania S [Farrar] Ketchum Died at the home of her daughter, Abigail Glauque, near Birmingham, August 23d, apparently of old age, Ellen Anderson. Deceased was born in Pennsylvania, July 1784; consequently was, at the time of her death, in her eighty-seventh year. She was brought up in, and early inured to the privations and hardships incident to the then new country. When about twenty years of age she united in marriage with Stoddard M. Anderson, with whom she lived for over fifty-years. She was the mother of nine children, five of whom, with her husband, have preceded her to the better land. Soon after her marriage she gave her heart to God, and her name to the Methodist church; and for over sixty years has stood a faithful and acceptable member of the church of her choice. Faithful to all its ordinances until the infirmities of age prevented, she held fast the faith and, we have every assurance triumphed in it at death. Hers has been a life of events, reaching from the time of the Revolution down to the present. She has witnessed the growth and prosperity of our great country, and, although her life has not been without its privations and hardships, yet she evinced much of the pure christian character, and by her many kindly offices, and her tender solicitude for all, she has endeared her memory to all of her numerous posterity and to others. She has indeed been a mother in Israel. Great as is our earthly loss, we feel it to be her eternal gain and can not grieve that God has taken her to himself, there to enjoy the rest so richly in store for her. May we profit by her worthy example. The DAR placed a marker on her grave in the Smith Cemetery near Birmingham, IA on July 3, 1955.
