Carl Otto Herman Anderson, born June 28, 1863, in Malmo, Sweden, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl August Anderson, died October 29, at 9:45 a.m., aged 66 years, 4 months, and 1 day.

In 1881, at the age of 17, Mr. Anderson came to America and at Wahoo, Nebraska, began learning the harness making trade. He accepted Christ as Savior's and Lord in 1885 and after being baptized became on of the five who organized the Swedish Baptist Church at Wahoo along with his mother who also was one of this little group.

On August 4, 1888, he was married to Emma Christina Rudeen and they established their home in Wahoo. Of this union were born Carl Arthur Anderson now residing in San Francisco; Clarence W. Anderson, now residing in New York; Arnold Anderson of San Jose and Alice E. Anderson of Redondo Beach California.

In 1885 Mr. Anderson entered into partnership with Mr. J.A. Mollerstrom, now deceased, establishing a harness business in Wahoo. This partnership continued for 35 years. The business was sold out in 1920 and Mr. Anderson, accompanied by his wife, his daughter Alice, and son Arnold, set out for San Jose, Cal., intending to retire from working at his trade and to locate in San Jose where many friends from Wahoo had already preceded them. The wife and mother died en route and was buried at San Jose. With the loving help of his widowed sisters, Mrs. Anna Oberg, a home was established in San Jose, Mr. Anderson affiliating at once with the Swedish Baptist Church in which he was an active member until his last illness and death.

Mr. Anderson is also survived by a brother, Mr. O.L. Anderson of Seattle, Wash., besides a number of relative sin this country and in Sweden.

Peace be to his memory.
