IDMON ANDERSON.
    Idmon Anderson, attorney at law, who is also engaged in the abstract
business at Clarendon, was born in Cotton Plant, Woodruff county, Arkansas, in
1889, a son of J. W. and Alice (Johnson) Anderson. The father, also a native of
Cotton Plant, was a son of Patton Anderson, who removed to this state from
Mississippi. The mother, Alice Johnson, was a daughter of W. A. and Mattie
(Nunamaker) Johnson, who represented an old family from Columbia, South
Carolina, whence removal was made to Jackson, Tennessee. W. A. Johnson returned
to the seacoast state several years ago. settling in Georgia, where his last
days were passed. To Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson there were born eleven
children: Viot, who became the wife of T. A. Wood of Howell, Arkansas; Dot, who
married C. H. McKnight of Brinkley, Arkansas; Allie Laura, deceased; John W. and
David L., who are residing at Cotton Plant; Robert O., who is a teacher:
Vidolaw, Imogene, Justine and Wilson, all living at Cotton Plant; and Idmon, of
this review. The family home was maintained at Cotton Plant for many years and
the father there engaged in teaching school.

    Idmon Anderson, to whom was accorded liberal educational privileges,
completed his studies in the Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tennessee, where
he pursued his law course and qualified for active practice. In 1909 he opened
an office in Pangburn, Arkansas, and later removed to De Valls Bluff, while
subsequently he came to Clarendon. Here he has remained and has steadily
advanced in his profession, having now a large practice of a distinctively
representative character. He also organized an abstract company and conducts
that business in connection with his law practice.

    Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ellen Nix, a daughter of J.
D. Nix of Hunter, Arkansas, and they have become parents of one child, Mildred
Ellen. In the social circles of Clarendon, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson occupy an
enviable position, having many warm friends who esteem them highly, while the
hospitality of the best homes is freely accorded them. They are members of the
Baptist church and in his fraternal relations Mr. Anderson is a Mason, loyally
following the teachings and purposes of the craft, as he does the injunctions
and principles of the church.
