Author: “Memorial Record of Alabama,” Volume 2, published by Brant & Fuller in Madison, WI (1893), page 246

“F. Y. Anderson, the efficient manager of the Alabama State Land company, was 
born in Prince George’s county, Md, in 1847, and graduated from Columbia 
college in Washington, D.C., in 1870.  He then went to Mobile, Ala., where he 
engaged in the claim and real estate business until 1880, when he was appointed 
land commissioner for the Queen & Crescent railroad, and general manager of the 
Alabama State Land company, which owns over 600,000 acres of land in Alabama; 
and the railroads with which Mr. Anderson is connected control over one and a 
quarter million acres of land. Mr. Anderson went to Birmingham in 1880, and 
ever since that time has been prominently identified with its permanent 
prosperity.  He is vice-president of the Birmingham chamber of commerce, vice-
president of the Alabama state fair, and the president of the Alabama club.  By 
religious predilection, Mr. Anderson is an Episcopalian.  He was married in 
1882 to Miss Lucy Winston Paine, daughter of Dr. B. F. Paine, of Alabama, and 
grand-daughter of state senator W. O. W. Winston, of DeKalb county, Ala., 
originally from Virginia.  Four children blessed the union, Mary J., Frank Y., 
Pelham H., and Winston Paine Anderson.”
