At his home. in Wilmar, on
last Sunday, death claimed Mr..
!. I, d. Anderson, after an ILL
ness of many months. Mr..
Anderson was about 70 years of
age, and was, in reality, the
founder of the town of Wilmar,
at which place he had lived for
the past fifty years. He was one
of the leading merchants of his
home town, and a successful
planter of his community.
He lived an honorable, up
right life, always dealing with
others as he wished them to deal
with him. By close attention to
business, he accumulated much
property, and leaves valuable
estate He is survived by one
son, Mr.. Walter Anderson, and
one daughter, Mrs. Cotner, of
Wilmar, besides several grand
children and two great grand
children.
In the death of Mr.. Anderson,
Wilmar loses one of its leading
citizens, whose loss will be keen
ly felt.
Our sincere sympathies are
extended the borrowed family.
