General Notes: Husband - Edmond T. Anderson

---

He was reared on a farm and received his education at the Meadville Academy, at Allegheny College, and finally at Duff's College, Pittsburgh, where he was graduated. He taught school in early life, and in 1862, having saved up five hundred dollars, invested it in the oil fields in Rouseville, Venango County; in one year it netted him sixty thousand dollars. He was then twenty years of age, and misled by his good fortune, made some investments in oil producing by which he lost a considerable portion of his money. He then went into the merchandise business, though he still remained interested in the oil fields at Pleasantville, Pennsylvania. Later on he returned to Meadville and continued in business, being a member of the firm of Anderson & Ingham, dealers in men's furnishings. After this he became interested in banking, and for thirteen years was cashier in the People's Saving Bank of Meadville. His last venture was in the manufacturing line, when he became president and general manager of the Paragon Oil Can Company. He took an active interest in the affairs of his adopted city, serving for two years in the city council, and was politically a Republican. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and of the Ancient Order United Woodmen, being popular and well known in fraternal circles. Mr. Anderson was a devout member of the Baptist Church, serving on the official board. [GPHWP, 241]
