Special to The Herald
LAPEL, Oct. 24. – The funeral of the late Charles Anderson was held this morning from the Prairie Baptist church, west of Lapel. Interment was made in the cemetery nearby. Many friends attended. Mr. Anderson died at 6 o'clock Sunday morning at his home in Fishersburg. He had been in poor health for some time. Ten years ago Mr. Anderson had his right leg amputated between the hip and knee. He was working with a threshing machine which became choked up and in attempting to push the obstruction aside with his foot he was caught in the machinery and inured so that amputation was necessary. In March, 1909, and again in 1910, he suffered strokes of paralysis and has had several serious attacks of illness at various times since. Mr. Anderson leaves a wife who was formerly Miss Margaret Teeters. They had no children. He was a member of the G. A. R. Post, Lapel.
