Anderson, Axel - junior member of the firm of brothers operating under the 
name of The Anderson Lumber Company, has been an important factor in the 
business of Coal City for some years. He was born at Braceville, Ill., 
February 5, 1879, a son of Frederick and Johanna Anderson, who came from their 
native land of Sweden, to Braceville, Ill., in 1866. The father was a mine 
contractor, and met his death March 7, 1887 in an accident which occurred in 
the mines. His widow survives him and lives at Garden City, Kan. Axel Anderson 
was the youngest of their three children, the others being: Charles G., his 
partner, and an elder brother, John.

After attending school in Braceville Township, Axel Anderson was engaged in a 
house moving business, until he joined his brother, Charles G., in their 
present undertaking, which is succeeding admirably, both men bringing to it 
valuable experience and sound knowledge. On June 30, 1904, Mr. Anderson 
married Jessie Trotter, who was born October 25, 1879, of Coal City, and they 
have two children: Audrey and Ramona. Mr. Anderson is a Methodist. Like his 
brother he is faithful in his support of the fraternal organization, the 
Modern Woodmen of America. Mrs. Anderson is a member of the Eastern Star. A 
Republican, he is now serving as fire marshall of Coal City. Mr. Anderson owns 
a ranch of 320 acres in Finney County, Kans.
