Georgia State News

Rev. William D. Anderson, one of the most prominent ministers in the Southern 
Methodist church, died at Marietta after several days’ illness with pneumonia.  
The sad news was received with the most profound regret by his many friends 
throughout the state.  Dr. Anderson’s life, viewed in its four epochs of 
civilian, soldier, statesman and preacher, marks him among the distinguished 
men of Georgia.  In all of these positions he won high rank, and not by any 
effort on his part to win a place, but his own well known merit was 
acknowledged and he was accorded positions of trust and confidence on account 
of his worth.  As a soldier he was among the bravest of the brave.  In the 
language of Colonel L.N. Trammell no more gallant soldier ever fought.  He was 
a lieutenant on the staff of General Wofford, and was twice wounded, from one 
wound of which he never fully recovered to his dying day.  In 1868 the name of 
W.D. Anderson occurred among the representatives in the Georgia house from Cobb 
County, and in that legislature and in the legislature of 1870 he served with 
great credit and distinction and was speaker pro tem of the house of 1870.  
With a lucrative law practice and high political honors within his grasp he 
resigned his seat in the legislature, gave up his law practice and prepared 
himself for the work of a humble minister of the gospel.
