**********************************************************************

Harrison Anderson, postoffice Tabo, Missouri, son of William H. and 
Didama Anderson, was born December 9, 1840, in this county, where he 
was raised on a farm and has been a farmer all his life.  His father
died when he was but eleven years old leaving him at that tender age
in charge of his mother and sister.  During the late war, in 1861 he
was taken prisoner by Federal troops of McFeran's regiment, and held
nine months in Lexington.  In 1865 he took the oath of allegiance,
paid his thirty dollars and went to Kansas for safety.  In three months
he returned and made a crop entirely without horses or mules.  On the
24th of April, 1878, he married Miss Lucy Wilson, of this county, and 
has two children: Mary and Richard.  He now owns a good farm of 100
acres, black loam and hemp land.  He and his wife are both members of
the Christian church.
