Wilder- We copy the following account of the funeral of Russell Anderson from the Wellington Journal. Russell Anderson was a nephew of Thomas Anderson of Wilder and as he has made his home here at different times was well known by many. The Wellington Journal said:
"The remains of Russell Anderson who died on a transport enroute home from Manila, was buried in Prairie Lawn cemetery Sunday morning, March 3. He was given a military funeral. Company B, Second Regiment, K.N.G., acted as the escort and the local G.A.R. post followed the hearse. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church where the pastor, Rev. J.G. Cunningham, delivered an impressive sermon over the remains. The coffin was draped in the flag for which he fought and in the distance were heard the sweet and solemn notes of the drum and bugle during the entire service. At the church and at the cemetery, all the ceremonies of a military funeral were observed.
The deceased was born May 11, 1880, four miles southwest of Wellington, where he lived until the death of his father, James Anderson, in the year 1886 when he moved to Wilder, where his mother, Tressia [Teresa] Anderson, died July 15, 1888. She was a member of the Wellington Presbyterian church. He then attended the Soldiers' Orphans' Home and school at Atchison. Two years later he moved to near Olathe. About this time he was converted and united with the Methodist church. He returned to this country and spent a year, living with relatives in and around Wellington, when he went to Valparaiso, Indiana to attend a business college. Graduating there, he spent some time in Bible work throughout northern Kansas, his work taking him to Kansas City at the time of the Spanish-American war. He enlisted in Company B, Fifth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, then recruiting in that city. His regiment took him to Chickamauga Park, where it was encamped until November 1898, when he was mustered out of service in Kansas City. He then took up the study of railroad telegraphy at Sagola, Michigan. Having learned that, he went to Chicago where he enlisted in Troop A, Fourth U.S. Cavalry, for service in the Philippines on the on the island of Luzon. He served in the field against the insurgents for nearly a year when he was taken sick and sent to the hospital for about four months. Getting no better, he was given sick leave for the United States. He started from Manila about December 31 on the transport Sheridan. He died January 31. The transport arrived in San Francisco February 6."
