Notes for Jons Peter Anderson: Emigrated to the U.S. in 1874. (The 1920 census shows 1872.) "He came through Chicago and worked in the Wisconsin lumber industry before going west to Walla Walla, Washington Territory. There he worked hauling freight, as a farm laborer for Ben Grote (whose land adjoins the Anderson ranch to the north), and eventually homesteaded his own farm land. He returned East to Chicago to marry Anna Gamberg, also a Swedish immigrant, arriving in 1884. J.P. then brought his bride to the Clyde area near Walla Walla. They homesteaded more land and bought land from others who gave up their homesteads. Water was a severe problem - - having to be hauled by wagon from Smith Springs. Wells were eventually dug on the "home place." Their first five children were born on the ranch, two of whom died from diphtheria. Anna had asthma and was terribly bothered by the dust. They moved to the Bryant Street place in Walla Walla in 1898." Excerpted from information from Linda Jacky.
