JOHN TRENT ANDERSON is prominently identified with the agricultural interests of
Imperial County and is recognized by those who know him for the sterling
character of his manhood and good business capacity. Mr. Anderson owns a fine
ranch of 320 acres near Calexico. He came to this county November 27, 1914. His
birth occurred near La Grange, Tennessee, April 27, 1855, a son of Judge James
A. and Louisa C. (Trent) Anderson. The father of Mr. Anderson was one of the
prominent and able attorneys in Tennessee, and served as circuit judge in
Memphis, Tennessee, for years. The family date back to old English origin and
the city of Trent was named after this historic family. Mr. Anderson's father
served as captain during the Civil war and fought on the side of the
Confederacy. The subject of this review received his education at Oxford
University; after completing the same he engaged in ranching and stock business
for six years. He then engaged in the real estate, ranching and cattle business
in Texas, Oklahoma and California, and has followed this vocation up to the
present time. Politically Mr. Anderson is a Democrat, but has never aspired to
political office. He was married in Callahan County, Texas, June 22, 1879, to
Miss Fannie H. Anderson, daughter of Robert M. Anderson, former
lieutenant-governor of California, and Lucie (Wyatt) Anderson. The Wyatt family
is one of the old distinguished families which settled in America in the early
period. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are: James A., born in Callahan
County, Texas, and at present a rancher in Mexico; Sallie D., wife of Ralph E.
Sweeringen, an architect, resident of Calexico, California; Robert O., born in
Taylor County, Texas, a rancher residing at Murphy, Texas; Jack T., a rancher of
Imperial County; Louise Catherine, wife of H. S. Abbott, a rancher residing in
Mexico; Isabell, a graduate of the U. M. A., Columbia, Missouri, residing at
home. John and Mattie died in infancy and are buried near San Gabriel,
California. Mr. Anderson's attention is concentrated upon his ranch affairs, in
which he is meeting with gratifying and well-deserved success.
