ANDERSON - CINCINNATI BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL SOUVENIR For the Counties of Clark, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, Jefferson, Jennings, Scott and Washington, Indiana John M. Gresham & Co., Chicago Printing Co., 1889 - Part II, page 1-2 CHARLES C. ANDERSON is the son of Samuel Anderson and Rebecca (Crawford) Anderson, and was born in the city of Philadelphia, January 29, 1813. His father emigrated to the West in 1817. He came from Philadelphia, across the State of Pennsylvania, by land, in a derburn carriage, to Pittsburg, and they were some two or three weeks making the trip. At Pittsburg his father and some of his friends jointly bought a flatboat, and in this boat floated down the Ohio river to Cincinnati, Ohio; arriving at Cincinnati, which was but a small town at that time, father engaged to work in a foundry owned by a Mr. Green, the motive power of which was a yoke of oxen. One of Mr. Anderson's early recollections is connected with this foundry. He used to go there, and the Irishman, Jimmie Ramsey, who had charge of the oxen and to keep the machinery in constant motion, would place him on the beam to which the oxen were hitched, where he would ride round and drive the oxen. That, he thought, was the most delightful time in life. After working in Mr. Green's foundry for a time, he worked in Watson's clock factory, and was engaged in manufacturing clock cases. His mother, who was a native of Philadelphia, died soon after they came West, in 1820, when he was but seven years of age. She was of a Quaker family, and retained, until her death, some of their peculiarities. His father, who was a native of Trenton, N.J., died in 1834, at the age of forty years. Mr. Charles C. Anderson, the subject of our sketch, learned the trade of foundry-man, in Cincinnati, with Robert C. Green, who owned and operated a large foundry and machine shop in that city. In 1832 Mr. Green removed to Jeffersonville, bringing Mr. Anderson with him, and built a shop and carried on the foundry and machine business for a number of years. Mr. Anderson remained with Mr. Green until he quit the business and engaged in other pursuits. Some time about 1840 Mr. Anderson started a small machine shop a short distance above Howard's shipyard, which he carried on about four years, when he formed a partnership with Hamilton Robinson, Richard Gross and James Kiegwin, and removed to an old carriage shop, situated on a lot adjoining where the City Hotel on Spring street now stands. Here the firm carried on business for a number of years, when a change was made in the business, and a shop was built on Watt street between Maple and Court avenue. In 1860 this shop was burned and Mr. Anderson, who was its sole proprietor, lost most of his property. His friends came to his assistance and in six weeks had a temporary building and resumed business. Since then he has added to his buildings and stocked his foundry with tools and improved machinery so that he can and is doing a good business. The name of his foundry is "The Jefferson Foundry," but is as commonly known as "Anderson's." Mr. Anderson was married in 1835 to Miss Mary Lanciskes, a native of Zanesville, Ohio, but was residing in Jeffersonville with some relatives at the time of the marriage. She died in 1880, leaving six living children, -Mary, George, John, Charles, Robert and Martha; two, Levi and Laura, being dead. In 1882, after living a lonely life for two years, he married, for the second time, Mrs. Martha J. Terry, of Jeffersonville. He was originally a member of the Christian Church, but is now and has been for thirty years, a member of the Church of God, meeting in the Advent Christian Tabernacle. His wife is also a member of the same church. From 1840 to 1843 he resided in the town of Port Fulton, adjoining the city of Jeffersonville, and while there he was a member of its Board of Town Trustees, and was made president of the Board. He also held the office of Town Treasurer. Mr. Anderson is one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Jeffersonville; he has the universal esteem and confidence of all who know him, and those who have known him longest and best honor and esteem him the highest. ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 00:33:37, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: WILL POST BIOS FOR THE FOLLOWING NAMES I just recently purchased: BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL SOUVENIR For the Counties of Clark, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, Jefferson, Jennings, Scott and Washington, Indiana.
