General Notes: Husband - Elzie Howard Anderson

---

He obtained a common school education and then took a course at Witherspoon Institute, after which he taught for two years. He afterwards entered the register and recorder's office as assis-tant to his father, who was elected to that position in November, 1875, remained until the election of H. H. Gallagher, and served with him during his term of office. In 1882 he went to Denver, Colorado, but returned to Butler County, PA, in May, 1883, and embarked in merchandising with his brother John F., at Renfrew. In October, 1886, he sold his interest in the store, and removed to Butler, and engaged in the grocery business. He erected a new store building, which he sold to Kirkpatrick & Reed, in 1890, and then purchased a home on the corner of Clay and Bluff streets. In 1892 he bought the undertaking establish-ment of Jacob Keck, which he carried on some two years. In 1893 he became manager for the Butler Lubricating Oil Company. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a trustee in that organization beginning in 1886. Politically, he was a Democrat, and was a member of Ziegler Lodge, I. O. O. F., and also of the Y. M. C. A. [HBC 1895, 827]
