In February 1929 Mr. and Mrs. Anderson purchased a home in Renwick where they have since lived. For six years Mr. Anderson operated the Skelly Service Station here until his illness.
In 1935 Mr. Anderson suffered a stroke which left him an invalid, but was able to be up and around in the house until the last two weeks of his life.
He leaves to mourn his loss his faithful wife, Nina, one son, Floyd, three grandchildren, two great-grandsons, four brothers, six sisters and many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
He was a loving husband and father and always cheerful and enjoyed visiting with callers through his long months of illness. Last October they observed their Golden Wedding Anniversary.
