JOHN M. ANDERSON DEAD
John M. Anderson died last night at 11 o'clock, at his residence on Union street. Mr. Anderson has been sick for some time, and his death was not unexpected. Yet it comes with a shock to those who were well acquainted with his robust nature. He was among Emporia's oldest settlers, as well as among the most industrious and enterprising. He was a contractor by occupation, and some of the best buildings in this and adjoining states were erected by him. Mr. Anderson was a native of Scotland, and like all his countrymen, was proud of his nativity. He leaves a wife, three sons, two daughters, several grandchildren, a brother, and an aged mother-in-law to mourn his loss, all of whom except one son were present when he died.
He was an honored member of all the Masonic bodies, including the Knights Templar, who will have charge of the funeral services, which will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home.
The family requests that the friends who desire to view the body will come between 10 and 12 o'clock tomorrow morning.
