Ionia Sentinel, Monday, 2 Feb 1929

Archie Anderson, a life-long resident of Ionia township, died at his home, 423 
King Street, Saturday morning at 2 o’clock.  Mr. Anderson had been in poor 
health several months, but of recent weeks had been improved, and Friday 
afternoon and evening seemed as well as usual.  He and Mrs. Anderson sat up 
until 11 o’clock, and shortly after retiring he complained of the fact that it 
was hard for him to breathe.  She assisted him into a chair, where he soon 
lapsed into unconsciousness, and remained in this condition until his death. 

The death of Mr. Anderson removes from this community one of its pioneers.  He 
was born 78 years ago last Saturday on the farm now owned by Charles Mattison 
in Ionia township, and lived through the period of pioneering that called for 
hours of the hardest kind of labor.  He was a blacksmith by trade, and at one 
time conducted a shop where the Schild battery shop is now located.  He a was 
also a lumberman, and during his early manhood he saw much of the prime timber 
in the northeast part of the township sawed into lumber.

He was a member of the Ionia Church of Christ, and served the denomination for 
seven years as a deacon.  He also held membership in the Oddfellow lodge, the 
Fred Hall canton and the Beatrice Rebekah lodge.

Besides his widow, to whom he has been married 20 years, he leaves two sons, 
Verne of Detroit, and Lee of Hastings.  He also leaves a brother, James D. 
Anderson, or Muir; two sisters Mrs. C.O. Miller, and Mrs. Ione Faulkner of 
Muir.  These, with Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Beatrice Smith, and Mr. Miller, spent 
last Saturday, January 26, his seventy-eighth birthday anniversary, with him.  
He also has a half-brother, Edward Nolty, of Lyons.

Full arrangements for the funeral services will not be made until the arrival 
of the two sons.  The services will be in charge of Rev. Herbert G. Hurrell.  
The burial will be in Highland Park cemetery.
