LEWIS ANDERSON hotel-keeper, P.O. Morrisville, was born in 
Mercer county, N. J., June 1, 1840, being a son of John and 
Margaret (Hawk) Anderson, natives of New Jersey and of 
English and German descent.  His father was a wheel-wright 
and had a family of fourteen children, of whom Lewis was the 
fifth.  He was reared in Mercer county, where he attended 
the common schools.  In early life he learned carriage 
painting as a trade and followed that until 1871, when he 
embarked in the hotel business at Windsor, N. J., where he 
continued with success until he was induced to come to 
Morrisville and take the Robert Morris hotel in 1882.  His 
prompt attention to all the details of the hotel, and also 
to the wants of his customers, insures him a liberal 
patronage.  He was married in Mercer county, N. J., August 
7, 1862, to Sarah Jane, daughter of Arthur R. and Ann Eliza 
(Hill) Howell.  Her parents were of German origin.  Their 
children are:  Arthur H., who is employed in the rubber 
mill, and Ella.  Mrs. Anderson is a member of the Baptist 
church, and her daughter of the Methodist Episcopal church.  
Mr. Anderson is a member of the Knights of Pythias and an 
Odd Fellow.  In politics he is a republican.
