His parents were natives of the same state, and are both dead. The father died in 1819 and the mother in 1843. At the age of fourteen, he adopted the life of a sailor on a merchantman, commencing at the bottom and gradually rising through all grades of the office, until he attained the honorable and responsible position of captain on one of Grinnell's fine passenger ships, running from New York to Liverpool. He has in his possession many testimonials from his passengers and employers, which anyone might be proud of. The war breaking out, the rebel privateers cut short his business for that time; and, in the fall of 1863, he enlisted in Company A, 56th New York Infantry, and took part in the closing scenes of the war around Petersburg and Richmond. Mr. Anderson was married in England in 1838, his wife dying some twelve years afterwards. On August 2, 1867, he was married in Mt. Carroll, Ill., to Mrs. Margaret Hallett, widow of James Hallett, who was killed at the battle of Chicamauga, he being at the time a member of Company C, 92d Illinois Mounted Infantry. There were three children by the first marriage -- William, born October 29, 1857, married and living in Eldora; Maria, born July 26, 1860, wife of Geo. Reeves, of Hubbard; Ellen, born November 3, 1862, wife of Edward Donelson, of Grant township. On Sept. 1, 1867, Mr. Anderson moved to Hardin county, settling in Eldora, where they moved to Grant township, settling on section 30, where they now reside. Here he has followed farming with good success, being wide awake and energetic, having at present 166 acres of good land, with a comfortable house, orchard, etc. By this second marriage there are five children -- George, born April 3, 1868; Charles, July 27, 1870; S. Anna, Nov. 15, 1872; J. Franklin, Dec. 11, 1875; Lily May, July 7, 1880. [From the History of Hardin County, Iowa, Grant Township, Union Publishing Company, Springfield, Illinois, 1883.
