descended from long line of famous
ancestors. In early manhood DR. An

health, and when some time later he
returned home he was fully restored
to health.
DR.. Anderson moved to OcaIa TWEEN
ty-seyen years ago and was engaged
in the drug business here. For a good
many years past DR.. Anderson has
suffered from rheumatism, which.
with othe rcomp lications, caused his
death. Owing to his bad health he
lived quietly the last few years of his
life. His main characteristic was his
sterling honesty and integrity DR..
Anderson was an enthusiastic fisher
man, and was never SO happy as when
on a fishing trip with a party of
friends. and he had planned a camp
ing trip with his brother as soon as
he should be better.
DR.. Anderson was prominent
member of the EIks lodge of this city,
and was a past exalted ruler of the
lodge, and several times was a repre-
sentative of this lodge at the annual
national conventions.
DR.. Anderson married in early life
and is survived by his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. Norman Lloyd Kirk
and Mrs. William Lowndes Calhoun.
both of whom are now residing in
California, one small grandson, VIII
liam Lowndes Calhoun, Jr, and one
son, Mr.. William Anderson, Jr., of
this city. He is also survived by one
brother, Capt. Edwin Anderson, Z. s.
N, and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Y.
Mccoy of New Orleans, and Mrs. Eli
"a L. Harriss of East Orange, n. J.,
the latter a sister-in-law of Mr.. w.
w. Harriss of this city. Capt. Ander-
son and his wife were with DR.. An
dersOn when he passed away
Mrs. Anderson was her husbands
devoted nurse during his entire i'll
ness, and for the few days preceding
his death never left his side.
The remains of DR.. Anderson were
accompanied to Wilmington by his
young son, who reached home from
college the night of his fathers death,
but not until several hours after he
had passed away. In Wilmington they
were met by relatives of the family
and representatives of the Elks'
lodge, and the funeral was held in
that city.
One cannot be sorry for the dead
who go on ahead, but for those whU
are left there is always the beautiful
sympathy of friends TO help them 81
their time of sorrow. The Banner
joins with the many friends of the
Anderson family in expressing syn.
pathy to them in their hour of their
greatest bereavement
