Alban Anderson, the inventor of the gyroscopic governor and founder of the Anderson Machine Works. He served in the Civil War in the Ohio 90th Volunteer Infantry, as Ohio is where the Andersons had moved from. Years later, he would be one of the first presidents of the Lincoln Society. .
His own business, the Anderson Electrical Works, was just down the street and around the corner on the older part of South Street, now obliterated by Route 9. Together with his brother, artist/inventor Frank Anderson, he is credited with one of the first patents for upper-case typewriter letters.
