HENRY W. ANDING, RAYNE.--Henry W. Anding was born in Mississippi in 1850.  He is the
son of W. H. and Elizabeth (Furr) Anding.  W. H. Anding was born in South Carolina in
1816. He enlisted in the Black Hawk and Seminole wars in 1836, and served under 
General Scott until its close as a private.  He removed from South Carolina to 
Mississippi in 1848, and to Louisiana in 1860.  Our subject's mother was born in 
Mississippi in 1823, and married in 1843.  Eleven children were born to this marriage, 
four of whom are still living.

H. W. Anding, the subject of this sketch, was educated in St. Landry parish.  He was 
elected, in 1887, the first treasurer of Acadia parish, which position he still 
occupies.  He has been in the mercantile business for eighteen years at this place, 
and conducts one of the largest businesses of the town.  Mr. Anding was united in 
marriage in 1874 with Miss Susan Arenas.  They are the parents of one child, a 
daughter, Josephine.
