Dubuque Daily Times, 11 February 1879
Obituary of Henry Anderson from the Dubuque Daily Times, 11 February 1879:
Died, February 8, at 11:40 o'clock p. m., in this city, Henry Anderson, aged 63
years, 11 months and 13 
days. Mr. Anderson was born in the city of New York and came west in 1832. He first
located in Illinois, 
but removed to Dubuque in 1849, and engaged in the lumber trade. In 1852 he entered
the grocery 
business, with Robert Mitton, Esq., and opened on the corner of Fifth and Main
streets. That firm soon 
after dissolving, Mr. Anderson bought out Mr. Geo. W. Burton, then doing business on
the corner of 
Fourth and Main, where Mr. Melhop now is, where he conducted a most prosperous
wholesale grocery 
trade for a number of years. While doing business here he took into his employ the
two Rosenbaum 
boys, now two of the best and most responsible business men of Chicago and who
largely acquired 
their business habits and education from Mr. Anderson.  In 1860, Mr. Anderson moved
to Cedar Falls 
and engaged in a general mercantile trade. In 1868 he again changed to Manchester,
where he was in 
the grain trade. From there, in 1877, he removed to Chicago and entered the house of
Rosenbaum 
Bros. as book-keeper. His health began to fail about a year ago. Three months ago he
came to 
Dubuque, in hopes that a change of air might restore him to health. But alas! it was
too late. He died of 
cancer of the stomach. Retaining his mind to the last he died without a struggle, as
quietly as a child 
going to sleep.  Mr. Anderson leaves a wife and four children, three sons and one
daughter, all grown. 
They are all here except one son, who is in California. Mr. Anderson has ever been
an active and 
energetic business man, and has done his full share in building up the northwest to
what it is to-day. 
He was a whole-souled, genial man, a warm friend, with his heart in his hand. 
Funeral today at 2 p. m. 
from the residence on Fourteenth street.
