MRS. MARTIN ANDERSON

Funeral services for Mrs. Martin Anderson, whose death we briefly mentioned 
last week, took place here on Monday forenoon at the home with Rev H. H. McLeod
of the Presbyterian Church officiating. The children, four in number, were all
present, but the husband and father, M. Anderson, was unable to be present, due
to contracting pneumonia shortly after the death of his wife. He was taken to 
the Willmar hospital last Friday. His critical illness makes it especially sad.
  Mrs Anderson, whose maiden name was Annie Rose Miller, was born at Newbourg, 
Wis. Nov. 19, 1859, and passed away in Atwater Dec. 9, 1937. She removed from 
her birthplace to Audubon, Minn., in 1885, and on July 19, 1887, was married to 
Martin Anderson of Audubon. 
 They made their home there until 1904, when they came to Atwater. They remained 
here until 1914 when they removed to Willmar and resided until 1925, when they 
returned to their home here and continued to remain.
  Four children were born to Mr and Mrs Anderson, namely, Hilda (Mrs Lyle 
Anderson), Fannie ( Mrs F.E. de Malignon), both of Minneapolis, and Robert 
Anderson of Willmar and Arthur Anderson of Mankato. 
  There are eleven grandchildren including Mrs Mozelle Anderson of Atwater, who 
has always been near and dear to the grandparents near whom she has been close 
by all her life. There is also a brother, Conrad Miller of Audubon, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Ole Olson of Drake, N.D. and Mrs. H. Chadbourne of Detroit Lakes, 
Minn. Who are left to mourn her death. 
   Mrs. Anderson was of a quiet nature and her life was devoted to her home and 
family who will all greatly miss her, as will the many friends who grieve her 
departure. Interment took place Monday afternoon at Tvacia Lawn, Crystal Lake 
Cemetery, Minneapolis. -

THE WILLMAR DAILY TRIBUNE:
Martin Anderson

   Martin Anderson, who had been confined in the Willmar Hospital since December 
10, passed away at five o'clock Wednesday morning.  Pneumonia and complications 
caused his death. Mr. Anderson became ill at the time of his wife's death and 
was unable to attend the funeral and was taken to the hospital the day following 
her passing.
  Mr. Anderson was born in Christiania, Oslo, Norway August 14, 1867, and at the 
age of 14 years came to this country with his parents The family located at 
Audubon, Minnesota.
   He was married July 19, 1887, to Annie Rose Miller at Audubon.  They made 
their home at that place until 1900 when they removed to Florida.  In 1904 they 
came to Atwater and resided here until 1914. From 1914 until 1925 the family 
resided at several places, including Thief River Falls and Willmar.  Returning 
here in 1925 the family made this their home up to the present time.
   Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, and all survive.  They are 
Hilda (Mrs. L. H. Anderson), and Fannie (Mrs. F.E. de Malignon), of Minneapolis, 
Robert of Willmar and Arthur of Mankato.
  Eleven grandchildren also mourn his passing.  Miss Mozelle Anderson of this 
village is one of the granddaughters. One brother is believed to be in Norway.
    Mr. Anderson was very well known in business circles of the country for many 
years.  He had been in the hardware business here for a time previous to his 
removal to Willmar and while in the city of Willmar he was in the elevator 
business.  He was energetic and always occupied at some gainful business.  
     His recent illness, together with the shock of the death of his wife, 
withdrew from him more strength than he was able to survive and he passed on 
only a short time following the departure of his helpmate.  The children grew to 
young manhood and womanhood in Atwater and their many friends here extend to 
them their deepest sympathy in their recent loss of both mother and father.
