Not much is known about Peter Anderson. From his death certificate we do know that he was a single white male, born about 1864 in Sweden to Anders Jonson and Kristina Jonson, and was a fisherman. The informant for the above information was one Arvord Swanson of Renton, Washington, relationship not given. The physician wrote that Mr. Anderson died of "chronic interstitial nephritis" on August 3, 1925. He was buried on August 5th in the Glenada cemetery.
A news letter from "Ten Mile Lake," written by "Tsiltcoos," was printed in The West in 1892 and mentions a Mr. Anderson:
"Mr. Anderson is a genial old bach who swears by all that is great and good that he can make as good bread as any living woman. He was considerably elated last summer over the prospects of making big money from the sale of his farm to a gentleman who talked ‘big hotels, cottages, summer resorts, etc.' but the gentleman failed to put in an appearance when expected and Mr. A. has accordingly squared himself for another season at gardening and improving his place generally. With the coming of the now assured railroad will come buyers by the score."(1)
This Peter Anderson should not be confused with another man of the same name who lived on Fiddle Creek with his family. Early newspaper reports mentioned this family from time to time but they were not related to our Anderson.
