General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Anderson


He accompanied his father to California, left there and went to Honda, United States of Columbia, where he was superintendent of mining for an English syndicate. He remained for five years, superintending from 100 to 150 natives, none of whom could speak English. He returned to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1877, crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a small boat. He came to own 284 acres of land in Beaver County. In 1882 he went to Colorado in the interest of the Comstock Mining Company of Beaver, for whom he made several trips.
