W. Mills, with whom he has lived since the death of his wife. Mr. Anderson was a few months more than eighty- one years of age. He was born in Tennessee, December 29, 1815; in 1842 he was married to Mary Jane Armstrong and in 1858 they came to Oregon. Mrs. Anderson died about seven years ago. There were born to them nine children, six of whom are still living; there were forty grandchildren and thirty-two of these are now living; there are also fourteen great-grandchildren, all living. Mr. Anderson had been a church member for over forty years, the M. E. Church, South, being his chosen place of worship, for all this time until eight years ago, when himself and wife united with the Presbyterian Church at Phoenix, there then not being any M. E. Church, South, organization in the valley. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. H. Hoxie at the church in Phoenix on Monday and were attended by a very large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends.
