James Anderson, one of the oldest
residents of this town, passed away
at his home at a o'clock on the morn
ing of October 5. He had been in
failing health for about a year but
was confined to the bed only two
weeks previous to his death.
James Anderson was born on June
2, 1885 in a log cabin in Glover on
the farm which is now owned by Wal
ter Anderson. He was the eldest son
of William and Ann MOODY Ander-
son, who came from Scotland. He
attended the district school near his
home and for three years took a
course in a private school in Glover
village. In 1860, when he was
young man of %, he hired to, work
for Mr.. Morse of East Craftsbury and
two years later he purchased the
farm, which has been his home ever
since.
In December, 1864, he was united
in marriage to Mrs. Lois Morse
Mathie, and to this union were born
two daughters, Lottie, who died in
early life and Sarah Ann, who mar
ried Mr.. Gebbie and three children
were born to them, Hugh, of Rye
gate, Lois, now Mrs. Lynn Eldridge
of Orleans, and John, of Rochester,
N. Y.
In March, 1882, Mrs. Anderson
passed away, and in January, 1885,
Miss Jessie Blain McEwen; four sons
blessed this union, William Walter, of
this place, Thomas Reginald of North
Melville, both of New York City. In
April, 1897, when Roy was young,
the wife and mother was separated
from them by the hand of death. In
1903, he was welded to
Mrs. Evelyn May Human. Three
daughters, Alma, Isabel, Ina Rozella,
and Elnora May were the fruit of
this union. Mr.. Anderson was adj
mitted to the Reformed Presbyterian
church of East Craftsbury in October,
1870. Six years later he was chosen
one of the ruling elders and served
as such until the church was disor-
ganized in 1909. A few years later
he joined the United Presbyterian
church and as long as health permit
ted he was always a regular attend
ant at church and Sabbath school. His
life was such that there was no mis-
giving in regard to his being ready
at any time for the summons, "Come
up higher"
He held various town offices and
was very influential man in the COM
munity. The funeral services were
held from the home on Saturday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. N. B. Nc
Chung, pastor of the u. P. church,
having charge, assisted by Rev. G. E.
Peterson of North Craftsbury. The
