General Notes: Husband - James B. Anderson

---

He attended the city schools until fifteen years of age, and then began carpenter-work. At the end of two years he abandoned this trade, and engaged in the study of civil engineering for three years. He then went on the Pennsylvania railroad as fireman, and after four years' service was given a locomotive, which he ran for three years. At one time, while running through "Packsaddle Hollow." his locomotive struck a rock that had fallen on the track, and, "jumping," miraculously alighted on the rails, thus escaping a fall of one hundred feet into the river below. In 1884 Mr. Anderson came to Wilkinsburg and engaged in the hardware trade with a brother; later they turned their attention to plumbing, and did a successful business. Mr. Anderson attended the service of the Presbyterian Church; in politics he was a republican, and he was a member of the I. O. O. F.
