ROARING SPRING RIPPLES.
DEATH OF WILLIAM ANDERSON.

  William Anderson, an old and respected citizen of East Freedom, died 
suddenly on Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, of heart disease.  Mr. 
Anderson has had several attacks of this disease during the past few 
years.  He has been a resident of East Freedom for more than a quarter 
of a century, being engaged in the mercantile business during all that 
time.  He has been a careful and judicious business man and an earnest 
Christian gentleman.  He had lived beyond the natural duration of man's 
life, being past 77 years of age.  He was the father of A. J. Anderson, 
the enterprising merchant of Martinsburg.  Two of his daughters reside 
in the State of Kansas, one of whom - Mrs. Carroll - was recently 
mentioned in the TRIBUNE in connection with a singular dream.
