SCOTT ANDERSON

  Scott Anderson, a lifelong resident of this section, died at his home in 
Confluence at 8 a.m. Friday, October 9th, after an illness of about a year, 
suffering from heart trouble.  He was born near Drakestown, in Lower Turkeyfoot 
Township, on June 20, 1872, a son of the late George W. and Sabina Hall 
Anderson, and was aged 59 years, 3 months and 22 days.
  He was married on February 2, 1896 to Susan H. Nicholson, who and the 
following six sons survive him:  Adam Anderson, Confluence; Albert Anderson, 
Canton, Ohio; John Anderson, Confluence; Joseph Anderson, Toledo, Ohio; and 
Charles and Ralph Anderson, at home.  Surviving are also six grandchildren and 
one brother, Rev. Wallace W. Anderson of Saint Louis, Mo.  Three brothers and 
one sister preceded him to the grave.
  Scott Anderson was a carpenter by trade, working at that occupation up until 
1922, when he became affiliated with the Associated Gas and Electric Company as 
their right-of-way agent, employed throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York 
and Ohio, purchasing right-of-way.  Illness forced him to retire about a year 
ago.  He was a member of the Church of God practically all of his life.
  Funeral services were held at the family home at 2:30 p.m. last Sunday, Rev. 
V. C. Wilson of Lonaconing, Md., officiating.  Interment in Addison Cemetery.
