Our community was saddened to hear of the death of Mr. J. R. Anderson at his 
home in Payette Monday morning. His death being due to heart trouble the end 
came very suddenly. The Anderson family lived for several years on the Slope 
and are held in high esteem here by all. The sympathy of the entire community 
is extended to Mrs. Anderson and family.

 
DEATH OF J. R. ANDERSON

J. R. Anderson, for many years a prominent and respected citizen of this city 
and community, passed away at his home, on Lovers' Lane, in the northeastern 
part of the city, at 11:45 a. m. Monday, June 9th, after only a brief illness.

James Riley Anderson was born in Green county, Indiana, March 26, 1856, and 
was 68 years, 2 months and 13 days old at the time of his death. At the age of 
two years his father died and his mother moved with him to Christian county, 
Illinois when he was 10 years old. On March 1st, 1883, he was married to Mary 
A. Brown, and he engaged in the manufacture of brick and tile at Taylorville, 
Illinois, with a brother, the business being large and extensive, and his 
prominence both in the manufacturing business and as the owner of one of the 
finest farms of that section was well established.

Twelve years ago last March he and his family moved to Idaho and located on a 
ranch on the Flat which he owned at the time of his death. Five years ago he 
retired from active farm work and moved to town where he has since lived. 
Thirteen children were born to them, nine of whom are still living. The sons 
are J. C.; J. W.; H. R.; all married and living in this vicinity; Russell, 
Frederick and Keith, at home. The daughters are: Mrs. Charles Haflinger, of 
Taylorville, Ill.; Mrs. Staton Moss of Payette, and Miss Ruth, at home.

Mr. Anderson was member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, and when a 
younger man was very active in church work. For many years he was a singer in 
the church choir and was a great lover of music.

As a citizen of this community James Anderson was respected by everybody. His 
upright life and solicitude for others won him friends and a position among 
the leading men of the community. His death is greatly regretted by all, and 
the family have the deepest sympathy of all.

The remains were taken to the old home at Taylorville, Ill., for burial and 
Mrs. Anderson and son, Russell, accompanied them.

CARD OF THANKS
We learn to know our friends best in times of adversity, and the better we 
know them the more we appreciate them. Our loss of a husband and father 
brought our friends very near to us and placed us under great and lasting 
obligations for their many acts of kindness. Our sincere and heartfelt thanks 
go out to all. MRS. JAMES R. ANDERSON, AND FAMILY
