New Bethlehem Vindicator,9/15/1892
Adam Anderson, the oldest citizen of these parts died at his home in Leatherwood on Sept. 8, at the age of over __ years. Mr. Anderson was a prominent man of his day and was widely and favorably known. He was a man of excellent physique, strong, muscular and active. Sixty-eight years ago he moved from Westmoreland county and settled upon the farm where he has ever since resided. He cut the timber for his house and built it and cleared the land from which he reaped good crops, the result of hard toil. His grandfather came to this country from Scotland and was a soldier in the second war with Great Britain. He was himself fond of military duties and took a great interest in the reviews that were held in the days of his early manhood. For a few years past, Mr. Anderson has not been away much form his home, coming to town occasionally with his son-in-law, J. H. Fowkes, but up to twelve years ago he was as lively and as well able to get around as most men at forty-five. He declining years have been pleasant to him and his enjoyment of companionship was never keener. His mind retained the incidents of the bygone with remarkable tenacity and being a good talker, all who visited him came away pleased with the grand old man. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. J. H. Fowkes and a host of friends behind.
