Portrait and Biographical Album of Jackson County, Michigan.
Chapman Brothers, 1890, Chicago, pp. 475-476

BRADLEY B. ANDERSON, M. D. A biographical of Jackson County would be incomplete if within its pages was not found a sketch of the above named gentleman, who has a high standing among the professional men of Jackson and an extensive practice in the city and vicinity. He is a man of more than ordinary intelligence, was the recipient of excellent educational advantages and acquired an extended knowledge of other branches before taking up the study of medicine, which he carried on systematically and thoroughly, becoming well-versed in the science of Therapeutics, and having since applied his theoretical knowledge to excellent advantage, acquiring a high degree of skill in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
It is believed by all students of human nature that the ancestry and early training and surroundings of men exert such an influence over their lives that a knowledge of the former gives one a very good idea of what may be expected in the latter; therefore a few lines regarding the progenitors of our subject will not be out of place in this sketch. His father, John W. Anderson, was born in New York, and having been left an orphan at a very early age, was reared by an uncle at West Point. He learned the trade of a carpenter and joiner in Niagara County, whither he went when a young man and where he sojourned laboring at his trade until 1837. He then came to the Territory of Michigan, accomplishing the journey via the Lake to Detroit and thence by stage through a sparsely settled country where the roads were so poor that the passengers were obliged to walk a part of the way. He located in Albion, Calhoun County, but after spending four or five years there employed at his trade, bought a tract of land near Parma, Jackson County, and engaged in agricultural pursuits. After spending about ten years there, he sold and bought property in Concord Township, upon which he was engaged in tilling the soil until the time of the Civil War, when he sold and removed to Parma. Thence he subsequently went to Tekonsha, Calhoun County, in which place he resided until his death. His widow is now living with her children, of whom she has reared four. She was born in Madison County, N. Y., to Sherman and Ann (Merrills) Beecher, and was christened Eliza A. Her children are, our subject; Frances, the wife of Julius Clapp, of Parma; Henry, who lives in the same place, and Ann, who married Charles Ferguson of Jackson.
The; gentleman whose name initiates this notice was born in Albion, Calhoun County, Mich., November 16, 1841, and after receiving an elementary education in the district schools entered Albion College, where he was pursuing his studies when the Civil War broke out and his parents changed their place of residence. In 1861, he began to learn the trade of a boot and shoe maker, and worked at the same until 1865, in February of which year he enlisted in Company C, Ninth Michigan Infantry, joining his regiment at Chattanooga and serving until after the close of the war, receiving his discharge with the regiment in September, 1865.
Returning to his home, Mr. Anderson resumed work at his trade but ere long abandoned it for professional studies, and in 1874 attended medical lectures at Detroit Homoepathic Medical College. He began the practice of his profession in Tompkins Township, this county, and after acquiring some practical experience continued his studies with a more thorough understanding of the use which was hereafter to be made of them, as is the case with all students who combine practice with theory. The young doctor attended lectures at Pulte College, Cincinnati, and later at Hahnemann College, Chicago, being graduated from the latter in the class of 1879-80, after which he located in Jackson, where he has built up an extensive practice and a highly creditable reputation for skill in his chosen profession.
The lady, in whom Dr. Anderson found united the qualities which he desired in a life companion was Miss Amelia A., daughter of Dr. Samuel P. and Martha A. (Barrett) Town, and the rites of wedlock were celebrated between them May 16, 1872. Mrs. Anderson possesses the intelligence and culture which fit her for the companionship of one of the Doctor's intellectual attainments, together with the estimable character which exerts a strong influence for good over those with whom she comes in contact. She has borne her husband four children, named respectively: Frederick, Birdie, Warren and Jessie.
Dr. Anderson and his wife are members of the First Baptist Church. The Doctor has always been a temperance man and an advocate of temperance principles. He was one of the charter members of Tekonsha Lodge I. O. O. F.; belongs to Edward Pomeroy Post, No. 48, G. A. R., to Parma Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and is a member of the Homeopathic State Medical Society. Politically, he is a Republican.
