Abraham Anderson (Source unknown)
May 1898
The Mortuary Record
Abraham Anderson was born in Green Co. Penn, Aug. 3, 1828, and grew to sturdy manhood in the free mountain air of his native state. Just at the threshold of manhood he chose one of his schoolmates, Miss Pleasant Wright, to learn with him life's sterner lessons, and on Oct. 19th, 1850, they were united in marriage and lived together in congenial companionship for nearly half a century.
In the spring of 1851, with his bride, his father's family and some friends started for Illinois then the western frontier driving the entire distance and arriving May 4th, 47 years ago. They settled about two miles from his late residence, forming the nucleus of the old Lone Tree settlement. The remainder of his quiet life was spent in this vicinity.
While yet a young man he consecrated his life to the service of the master and has held membership in the Christian church for 43 years. For the past year Mr. Anderson's health has been failing, but no special alarm has been felt until three weeks ago, when he was obliged to take to his bed, and grew gradually weaker until he peacefully slept away at half past four o'clock Monday morning, May 2, 1898.
Of his immediate family he leaves a wife and seven children, four sons and three daughters, to look forward to meeting him and the three children who have already gone to that land where the light never fades. Besides these, three sisters, two brothers, and a large circle of relatives and friends will remember him from their midst.
Mr. Anderson was one of the most generous of men. He was a large man physically and in his breast was a large heart. His home was open to all and his purpose to help and fester everything that was for the well being and good of the community. His wife and children will ever remember his generous disposition and will remember affectionately his love and care for them. The devoted husband and father and the excellent neighbor is no more. He leaves an exemplary life as an example for all to imitate.
The funeral was held yesterday at the Christian church at Putnam, Elder J. F. M. Parker officiating, whose eloquent tribute of the character and life of the deceased was a balm to the aching hearts of all the bereaved. The church was filled, the exercises being of a very impressive character. The casket was of massive oak and beautiful flowers covered the lid, a very large bouquet of calla lillies being especially noticable. The pulpit was draped in black. The interment was at the cemetery, a half a mile from the church, the clergy and pallbearers leading the large procession on foot. We agree with Elder Parker "He is not here, he has arisen."

Henry Republican, Henry IL, May 5, 1898. Abraham Anderson of Lone Tree, who had been sick so long, died Monday morning at 4:30 o'clock. Funeral on Wednesday. A good husband and father and a kind neighbor was Mr. Anderson, and we extend our sympathy to the aged companion who will be the one that most deeply feels the loss. But they are not without christian hope, and can look forward to a happy meeting on the other shore, where we meet to part no more.
