General Notes: Husband - David G. Anderson

---

He attended the common schools of Stahlstown, Pennsylvania, until he was thirteen years of age. He then went to Washington City, where he was employed with several other boys in the government mess-house to wait on the soldiers who would stop there for meals. At the close of the war he returned home, where he was engaged for two years by W. A. Keifer, of Scottdale, to feed and take care of cattle and hogs. In 1869 he went to Stahlstown and learned the trade of blacksmith. After completing his apprenticeship he came to Scottdale where he opened a blacksmith shop and in connection with it conducted a carriage factory. In 1873 he established a livery stable, the largest and most thoroughly equipped of its kind at Scottdale. These enterprises were not sufficient to require all of his time and energy, and from 1877 to 1884 he was engaged in merchandising, farming and coal mining at Scottdale. On his farm and in his coal bank he employed twenty-five men and sixty-five horses. From 1877 to 1878 he was proprietor of a hotel at Everson. In 1888 he opened stone-quarries and a sand bank, and in stone quarrying and sand excavating he kept constantly employed a large force of hands and sixty-five horses. During his years in business he lost from eight to ten thousand dollars by fire, but Phoenix-like, his business always rose from the ashes larger than ever.
He was a republican but had neither time nor inclination to engage in politics. He was a member of Scottdale Lodge, No. 885, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Scottdale Lodge, No. 443, Knights of Pythias and Scottdale Council, No. 102, Junior Order of United American Mechanics.
