General Notes: Husband - James D. Anderson
He was born in County Down, Ireland. [HBC 1927, 864]
He was reared on his father's farm, receiving a common school education. In 1865, he purchased a farm in Penn Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was a stockholder in the Butler Savings Bank, in which he officiated as Director. Although not an aspirant for office, he filled nearly all the positions in the gift of his fellow-townsmen, and in 1876 was elected Register and Recorder for a term of three years on the Democratic ticket in a Republican county, with a majority of some 600 voters, which attests his popularity.
He was sixteen years old when he accom-panied his parents to America. They set-tled in Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1833 among the pioneers of Franklin Township. He engaged in a mercantile busi-ness at Prospect for some years, but his main business through life was farming. He was a man of high standing in his community and frequently was elected to offices of responsibility, serving in a num-ber of local positions, and from 1876 to 1878 was registrar and recorder of Butler County. He and wife were prominent members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he was a ruling elder.
He was born in Ireland, and came with his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, when he was seventeen years of age. He received a good education, and became a teacher, which calling he pursued for ten winters, devoting the balance of his time to farming. In 1849 he embarked in merchandising at Prospect, later pur-chased a farm which he soon sold, and then removed to Penn township, where he bought a homestead in 1865. It contained 133 acres, and was one of the best improved farms in the township. He was also the owner of another good farm near Brownsdale, consisting of 100 acres.
