Anding – 

William H. Anding, an enterprising and successful farmer of Gillford 
Township, a member of a pioneer family, was born in this township, in 
section 13, August 14, 1875, son of William and Magdalena (Kirchner) 
Anding. He was educated in the District School No. 19, which he attended 
up to the age of 19 years, and reared on the home farm, assisting his 
father until the fall of 1904. He now owns 160 acres in section 13, 
including 80 acres of the original homestead founded by his grandfather 
in 1865. The land is all improved, and there is a good stucco residence 
of two stories and 11 rooms, which was erected in 1915. His barn measures 
36 by 60 by 18 feet, with a 10-foot full stone basement for stock, and 
among the other buildings are a granary 30 by 40 by 10, a shed for the 
threshing machine 16 by 26 by 10, a tool shed, 30 by 40 by 10, a poultry 
house and hog house combined 16 by 34 by 8, a barn for young stock 16 by 
24 by 8, and a garage 12 by 18 by 8, all substantial structures of modern 
type. Mr. Anding has also a good equipment, which includes a Case tractor 
and a Case thresher, and his farm is one of the best in the township. He 
is a successful breeder of purebred Shorthorn cattle and Poland-China 
hogs, and is recognized as a hard worker and good citizen. He took an 
active and leading part in war work, putting his division over in every 
drive. In politics he is a Republican, and is serving as treasurer of 
school district no. 19, an office which has come down in the family from 
his grandfather. Mr. Anding was married November 10, 1904, to Anna Holts, 
who was born in Belvidere, Goodhue County, Minn., December 13, 1882, 
daughter of David and Anna Holts, now residents of Gillford Township. 
Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Anding: Allen C., July 31, 
1905; William C., April 7, 1907; and Irene L., April 7, 1910. Mr. Anding 
and his family affiliated religiously with the Jacksonville congregation 
of the Evangelical church.
