Anderson" as he was always
called, was an able teamster from

strength and no task was too hard

dealers of early days employed his
labor on account of his great ability
to handle heavy timbers. About .
years ago he moved to Plymouth and
soon after obtained dray and trans
fer line. The public soon learned to
know him by his promptness and
courteous dealing. His word could
always be relied upon and thus he
became one of the leading draymen
of the city. He was engaged N this
capacity until the end came. Ander-
son was a man who took great pride
in keeping promise sacred and in
So doing gained the confidence of all
with whom he had dealings.
With his companion he became a
Christian and united with the nj. E..
church at Tyner number of years
ago and was a strong believer in the
christian religion until God called
him home./

uanion he leaves a father. Robert

er. two sisters. Mrs. Rebecca lands
of Culver and Mrs. lola Miller Of
California; one brother. Robert Bea-
giles Jr., of Tyner, and eight grand
children, and host of other relatives
| to mourn their loss.
His affliction dates back, for five
years, yet most of that time he was
able to look after his business af-
fairs. Only for the past few weeks
he has been confined to his home.
The last week was one of G reat suf-
.fering yet he bore it with christian
fortitude, being conforted by his
faithful companion and two daugh-
tiers. He earnestly prayed that God
would give him rest and on Wednes-
day evening at 1870 he quietly fell
