General Notes: Husband - Samuel P. Anderson

---

He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he was educated in the common schools, and on coming with his parents to Jefferson County began to assist in the cultivation and improvement of the home farm. He and his brother, James, purchased a large tract from their father, later divided the same, and lived upon their respective portions. Mr. Anderson made many valuable improvements on his place, including the erection of a handsome two-story frame residence on the bank of Red Bank creek, overlooking the valley and Summerville, and commanding a fine view of the surrounding country. Underlying his land were three coal veins, and one of limestone six feet in thickness. In connection with the cultivation of his land he also dealt to some extent in farm machinery, and met with good success in this undertaking.
He was a recognized leader in the ranks of the local Democrats, and was called upon to fill a number of important positions, including those of high sheriff of the county (1882-85), and justice of the peace.
