The death one week ago yesterday OF
A. A. Anderson, the representative OF
Myers, Cox & Co., of Dubuque, cast
gloom among the travelling men or
Iowa, as Gus was one of the popular
men on the road, having worked for
over twenty years for his firm. In the
towns he made he was known by eV-
eryone, and we doubt if he had an en-
envy. Gus was one Of the organizers
Of the H. c. NJ. A. of our city, and one
of it's directors. At the time of organ
ization, to show the interest he took
in it, he brought in over forty appll-
cations, and for that reason was given
No. /, and from then until the time OF
his death he was a hard worker for
the MarshalltoWn organization. 10 say
that we shall miss him does not en-
press il. His family have the sym
pathy Of their friends. His firm sent
out the following letter, which shows
the friendship they had for him:
