JAMES ANDERSON
Jas. Anderson, who for many years filled the position of logging superintendent for lumber firms at Merrill and in Minnesota, died at an asylum in Fergus Falls, Minn., last Friday noon. The body was prepared for shipment to his mother's house on Water street in this city and left Fergus Falls by express that afternoon, but through some misunderstanding in the shipping directions, it did not reach here until 10:25 o'clock Monday morning. In the meantime it had gone to Milwaukee, thence to Green Bay, and finally reached here on Monday morning's Green Bay passenger train. As might be expected, the family and friends were much concerned.
Mr. Anderson had been ailing for the past five years, being first affected with slight paralytic strokes, while living at Black Duck, Minn., where he filled the position of logging superintendent for the Thief River Lumber Co. Mr. Anderson was able to perform his duties for several months after the ailment first manifested itself, but his mind gradually became weaker and he was brought to the old home in this city. It was later decided that he needed expert treatment by brain specialists and for a time he was at the Northern Hospital near Oshkosh, but a couple of years ago was transferred to the Fergus Falls asylum. Abcess on the brain developed and this was the immediate cause of death.
James was born in what is now the town of Carson, about seven miles northwest of this city, 48 years ago. After finishing his education in the district schools, he was employed at lumbering operations and for nearly fifteen years had charge of the logging for the Gilkey-Anson Co., of Merrill. Seven or eight years ago he went to Minnesota and, as noted above, was identified with the Thief River Co.
Mr. Anderson was married about the first of June, 1900, to Miss Margaret Tobin of Lanark. Besides the widow he leaves his aged mother, Mrs. Nora Anderson, two brothers and one sister, Wm. Anderson of Malvern, Ark., John of Merrill, and Mrs. Geo. J. Reichert, of Kennan, Price county. All were here for the funeral, William arriving Monday morning and the others coming a few days previously. Among those from a distance who were present to attend the last sad rites were John W. and Nick Burns and John H. Smith of Almond, Mrs. W. J. Leary of Amherst, Richard and Mike Tobin, Pat Sullivan, Dan Hopkins, Ed. Cooney and wife of Lanark, and Richard Doyle of Stockton.
The funeral took place from St. Stephen's Catholic church at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, Rev. W. J. Rice officiating, with interment in the parish cemetery. The pallbearers were Wm. Feeley, Martin Griffin, A. J. Cunneen and Jas. Welch, of this city, and John Burns and John H. Smith, of Almond.

Former Resident Passes Away at Fergus Falls, Minn.
James Anderson passed away at the hospital for the insane at Fergus Falls, Minn., Friday at noon. So far as known his death was due to general break down, resulting from his mental decline. He had been in failing health for about four years and for two or three years made a persistent but unavailing effort to find relief, spending some time at Hot Springs, Ar., and other health resorts. He had been a patient at Fergus Falls since December, 1907.
Mr. Anderson was born in Carson, about seven miles north of the city, and spent his boyhood and early youth in Stevens Point, being a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Anderson, pioneer residents of the county. He was 49 years old on Dec. 11. He took up lumbering and was employed for 11 years by Landers & Anson at Merrill, and later was sent by the same interests to Thief River Falls, Minn., and later was also employed by their successors as a general foreman in their operations at Bemidji and Black Duck, Minn. He married Miss Margaret Tobin, of the town of Lanark, in June 1900, and they established their home at Black Duck. There are no children and since he has been at Fergus Falls, she has been living with her sister, Mrs. N. Burns, in Almond. The deceased is also survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Norah Anderson of 711 Water street, who is in her seventy-third year and by one sister and two brothers, Mr. George Reichert of Kennan, John Anderson of Merrill and William of Malvern, Ark.
Owing to some unfortunate and as yet unexplained circumstances the body of James Anderson, who died at the asylum at Fergus Falls, Minn., last Friday, did not arrive here until this morning at 10:25 over the Green Bay & Western. The body was billed by express from Fergus Falls to Stevens Point but was shipped to Milwaukee, then to Green Bay and from Green Bay to Stevens Point. It should have arrived here, if shipping directions had been followed, Saturday at 2:40 p.m. The body was lost so far as the relatives could learn from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon and the members of the family were nearly distracted with anxiety. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Stephen's Catholic church, Rev. W. J. Rice officiating.Nora Toohey Anderson

PORTAGE COUNTY PIONEER
Mrs. Nora Anderson, Local Resident Over 60 Years, Dies at Daughter's Home in Kennan
Mrs. Nora Anderson, a resident of Portage county for 61 years, most of this time occupying the home at 722 Water street, expired very suddenly at Kennan, Price county, last Thursday morning. Mrs. Anderson spent most of the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Geo. J. Reichert in that village but recently came back to this city on a business trip and also visited a few weeks with Mrs. E. F. Cooney at Amherst. She then returned to Kennan and seemed to maintain fairly good health for one of her advanced age, getting about the house every day and last Thursday took a walk out of doors. A strong wind was blowing at the time and when Mrs. Anderson returned to the Reichert home she complained of a sharp pain in one side. Mrs. Reichert assisted her mother in undressing and in getting into bed, after which she made hasty preparations to relieve her condition with hot applications, but before anything could be done the aged lady expired. Death came painlessly and without any apparent struggle. It is rather a strange coincidence that her oldest son, William Anderson, also dropped dead while at his mother's home last September. He was a resident of Malvern, Ark., and came here only a few days before to make an extended visit.
Nora Toohey was born in County Cork, Ireland, 83 years ago, but emigrated to America when she was fourteen years of age and lived successively in Ohio, at Madison and Milwaukee before coming to this city in 1858. She was married shortly afterwards to James Anderson and for the next several years they occupied a farm northwest of this city, in what is now the town of Carson.
Four sons and two daughters were born to them, one of the boys dying in infancy and another son, James passed away ten years ago. One of the daughters was the late Miss Margaret Anderson, a former teacher in out city schools. The recent death of Wm. Anderson reduced the surviving members of the family to two, Mrs. Reichert of Kennan and John Anderson of Ladner, S. Dak. As the latter is fifty miles from a railroad and the roads are almost impassable at this season of year, word of his mother's death could not be forwarded to him.
The body was brought to Stevens Point Sunday afternoon and taken to the home on Water street. At 9 o'clock Monday morning burial services were conducted by Father Rice at St. Stephen's church, with interment in the parish cemetery. Those who served as pallbearers were Martin Griffin, Anthony Lally, John E. Leahy, Geo. Urban, Alex Love and A. J. Cunneen.
Those who accompanied the remains....Mrs. Reichert and daughter, Miss Phoebe.Mary Doyle Becker
