General Notes: Husband - Robert L. Anderson


He was educated in the schools of Leet township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and upon completing his studies at the age of seventeen years, learned the machinist's trade with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad, going to Alabama in the winter of 1886 and 1887. He lived a short time at Birmingham, and then, following the example set by his father as a young man, migrated to the west. He went first to Palestine, Texas, and in 1887 pressed on into Mexico, where he remained for a period of thirteen years. In 1900 he went for a short time to California, removing from there to El Paso, Texas, and there opened a machine shop which he successfully conducted for three years. At the end of this time he secured a position in the El Paso Foundry and Machine Company and there remained until 1905. After this somewhat nomadic life Mr. Anderson, in 1905, returned to his native state and town, and taking up his residence once more in Sewickley, he opened an automobile business in partnership with his brother, David C. Anderson. The first scene of this new enterprise was Edgeworth, near Sewickley, but before long the brothers sold out and removed to Sewickley. Here they engaged in the same business with a high degree of success, and in 1910 built a garage measuring 95 by 200 feet. The firm, which dealt in automobiles and supplies, was known as the Anderson Automobile Company, and Robert L. Anderson was the president.
He was a member of the Democratic party, as his father has been all his long life. Mr. Anderson was reared a member of the Presbyterian Church.
