Anderson Killed Mr. Cary B. Anderson, a well known fireman, of Atlanta, met his death early Monday morning while attempting to board an electric car on the corner of Brotherton and Forsyth Streets. Mr. Anderson was well and favorably known in Newton county, and a relative of Sheriff H. B. Anderson. He was born in Oxford, Ga., May 21, 1870. At the age of 15 he left for Orlando, Fla., where he held a responsible position in the post office in that city for several years; and went to Atlanta about five years ago and secured a position with Chief Joiner of the fire department. Mr. Anderson’s father was Dr. William T. Anderson, of Newton County, who was one of the best known physicians in middle Georgia. The deceased had four brothers and three sisters. Robert Anderson, one of his brothers was drowned in Columbia river in 1898. The surviving brothers are Dr. A. M. Anderson, who is now in South America; Mr. Hubert Anderson, of the Aragon Hotel, and Mr. Paul Anderson, a druggist with Dr. Curtis. His sisters are Mrs. Josiah Carter, of this city; Mrs. A. B. Lovejoy, of Sorrento, Fla., and Miss Ouida Anderson, of Buena Vista, Ga. The Atlanta Journal, of last Monday contained the following beautiful tribute of Mr. Anderson. “There was no more popular man in the city than Carey Anderson. He was popular not only with his associates among the fire department and had scores of friends throughout the city in every walk of life. His love for little children was one of his most marked and commendable traits. Hardly a day passed that he did not perform some act of kindness to make glad the hearts of his little friends. His chief delight was to afford them happiness. He led an exemplary life, was gentle and kind in his manner and dealings with his friends, yet brave and courageous in the performance of his duties as a fireman.
