JULIUS J. ANDERSON - Vol III, pg 437
Julius J. Anderson was born near Independence, Trempealeau county, 
Wisconsin, August 26, 1882, his parents being John and Olia (Hestekind) 
Anderson, both of whom were natives of Norway, whence they came to the 
new world, their respective parents settling in Wisconsin in the latter 
'60s and early '70s. The father was born in Follingstad, December 12, 
1857, while the mother's birthplace was Walders, Norway, and the date the 
llth of August, 1862. They were married on the 17th of May, 1880, at 
Chimney Rock, Wisconsin. Both have passed away, the father's death 
occurring August 3, 1918, while the mother survived him only twenty days, 
when she, too, was called to her final rest. John Anderson was engaged in 
the real estate business, dealing in Wisconsin and Canadian lands for 
twenty years prior to his demise, during which period he made his home in 
Eau Claire, Wisconsin. To him and his wife were born two sons and three 
daughters: Albert J., of Minneapolis; Julius J., of this review; Amanda, 
the wife of Fred C. Walker of Green Bay, Wisconsin; Stella A., now Mrs. 
Jay C. Halls of Chicago; and Julia L., residing at Minneapolis, 
Minnesota.

Julius J. Anderson was educated in the public schools of Eau Claire, 
Wisconsin, and in Tolands College in that city, while later he pursued 
extension courses in the Walton School of Commerce of Chicago, and the 
University of Minnesota. In 1901 he started out upon his business career 
as bookkeeper in the employ of the Monitor Drill Company, with which firm 
he remained for about a year. In October, 1902, he became a member of the 
staff of Wendell & Green, public accountants of Minneapolis, with whom he 
continued until February, 1909, when he established business on his own 
account under the name of Julius J. Anderson & Company. In 1917 this was 
changed to Anderson, Kroeger & Company. Mr. Anderson obtained the degree 
of Certified Public Accountant from the Minnesota State Board of 
Ac­countancy, on the 30th day of November, 1914. He was appointed a 
member of that board by Governor A. O. Eberhart in September, 1916, and 
reappointed in January, 1917, by Governor J. A. A. Burnquist. In January, 
1922, he was again reappointed by Governor J. A. O. Preus for another 
term of three years. He is a member of the American Institute of 
Accountants, the national organization of the profession, and the 
Minnesota Society of Public Accountants.

On the 21st of June, 1905, in Minneapolis, Mr. Anderson was married to 
Miss Georgene Rebecca Gunderson, a daughter of Ole and Ovidia Gunderson 
of New Richmond, Wisconsin, belonging to one of the old families of that 
section. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson have one child, Julian George, who was 
born June 11, 1916. They are members of Our Saviour's Lutheran church of 
Minneapolis. Mr. Ander­son also belongs to the Minneapolis Athletic Club 
and the Calhoun Commercial Club, the Automobile Club, the Kiwanis Club 
and the Young Men's Christian Association.
