JOHN C. ANDERSEN.

    John C. Andersen is a partner in the firm of Andersen Brothers, well known
and successful druggists conducting business at Brush. He was born at Jewell
Junction, Hamilton county, Iowa, on the 3d of December, 1891, a son of Chris and
Christina (Thompson) Andersen, who are mentioned on another page of this work in
connection with the sketch of Alfred C. Andersen, brother of our subject.

    John C. Andersen was reared and educated in the town of his nativity,
continuing his studies until he was graduated from the high school with the
class of 1908. While attending school he spent two years in a drug store and
thus gained his initial experience in the line of business which has since
claimed his attention. In 1908 he came west to Colorado, first taking up his
abode at Brush, where he worked in a drug store for a time, while subsequently
he was similarly employed in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fort Morgan.
On the 1st of March, 1916, he purchased a half interest in his present
establishment at Brush and a year later admitted his brother, Alfred C.
Andersen, to a partnership under the firm name of Andersen Brothers. The young
men have since built up an extensive and gratifying patronage, for they carry a
most attractive stock of goods in their line and enjoy an unassailable
reputation for integrity as well as enterprise.

    On the 7th of April, 1915, Mr. Andersen was united in marriage to Miss
Bertha Aggson, of Fort Morgan, by whom he has a daughter, Elizabeth. He
maintains an independent course in politics, while fraternally be is identified
with the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Like
his brother, he possesses musical talent manifest in his mastery of the alto
horn, and he has been a member of bands at Jewell Junction, Iowa, and Brush,
Colorado. He is popular in both business and social circles of Brush, all who
know him entertaining for him warm regard and esteem.
