General Notes: Husband - Maj. Cyrus E. Anderson

---

He was born in Washington County, Ohio, and was reared in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He served two years at the harness maker's trade in Pittsburgh, came to Butler County at the age of fifteen, where he worked in the summer and attended school in the winter until twenty-one years of age. He then engaged in teach­ing, which he followed for fifteen years in Pennsylvania and Iowa. In 1843 he went to Iowa, returned to Pennsylvania in the spring of 1844, located at Meadville in 1854, and in 1857 returned to Butler. He was appointed deputy register and recorder that year, and filled the position for three years. In 1860 he was elected, on the Republican ticket, to the office of register and recorder, and was serving in that capacity when he joined A. G. Reed, in August, 1862, and recruited Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Volun­teers, and entered the service as captain of said company. He served in the bat­tles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville; was commissioned major of his reg­iment February 17, 1863, and was discharged at Harrisburg, May 26, 1863, by reason of expiration of his term of enlistment. Returning home he completed his term as register and recorder. In December, 1863, he became associated with Thomas Robinson in the publication of the American Citizen; was ap­pointed district deputy provost marshal in 1864, and sold his interest in the Citizen to Mr. Robinson. He served as provost marshal until the close of the war. In 1865 he became business manager of the Citizen, and in 1866 purchased the plant and conducted the paper until 1869, when he sold it to John H. Negley. He was elected prothonotary the same year, and after filling that office for one term, he was employed in the various offices in the court house as clerk. In 1891 he was elected justice of the peace, and in the spring of 1894 he was elected burgess of Butler for a term of three years. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, was at one time a local preacher in that denomination, and was a teacher of a bible class in the Butler church for thirty-seven years. He was a member of A. G. Reed Post, Number 105, G. A. R., and was connected with the Masonic order, the I. O. O. F., and the R. A. [HBC 1895, 808]
