ANDERSON, W. H.
(11 Apr 1907, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Lawton, April 9. - Soon after the early morning west bound Frisco
passenger train left Lawton this morning, Judge W. H. Anderson, of this
city, who was bound for Altus with a party of lawyers to attend a
political meeting, having exerted himself to reach the station in time to
get aboard the train, expired in his seat of heart failure.
The body was taken to Cache, and from there sent back here today at noon. 
He will be buried here tomorrow.
Judge Anderson was one of the best known attorneys of Oklahoma.  He came
here from Washington during the second administration of President
Cleveland and was receiver of the government land office at Enid.  Prior
to this time he had held a responsible position in the general land office
at Washington.  He was born in Kentucky 56 years ago and was a member of
the first state senate of Kentucky after the adoption of the constitution.
 He recently announced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for
district judge of this district.  His son, W. A. Anderson, was for a
number of years prominent in banking circles in Wichita, Kansas, and is
now business manager of the Lawton Constitution.
