General Notes: Husband - John Frank Anderson
He was educated at the public schools, and Witherspoon Institute, subsequently taught school and then went west, where he remained for three years. Returning to Butler County, Pennsylvania, he embarked in merchandising at Renfrew, in partnership with his brother, under the firm name of Anderson Brothers. He sold out his business and moved to Butler, where he engaged in oil producing, but later became book-keeper for the Natural Gas Company. He was a member of the Presbyterian church of Butler, was a ruling elder in that body, and was president of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church.
He was reared in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and obtained his education in the public schools and Witherspoon Institute. For several subsequent years he taught school in Butler and Allegheny Counties and then turned his attention to merchandizing, in 1883 opening a store at Renfrew, which he conducted until 1888, when he came to Butler. He soon became interested in the Home Natural Gas Company as one of its directors, and eventually he became connected with numerous successful business organizations of various kinds. He was president of the board of directors of the Patterson Natural Gas Company, president of the natural gas company that supplied Evans City, a director and stock-holder in the Standard Plate Glass Company, a director and secretary of the East Butler Land and Improvement Company, a stockholder in the Butler Savings and Trust Company, and a stockholder and manager of the firm of Sprang & Company. He was an active citizen in the sense of endeavoring to secure good city government and improved conditions, but he was not a politician. He voted with the Democratic party.
