...Mother of Thirteen Children, all of Whom Reached Maturity
Clarissa Anderson
The death of Mrs. F. M. Anderson, who had been in failing health for some time, occurred on Wednesday evening, April 18th at 8:30 p.m., her age being 79 years, 6 months and 3 days.
The mother of a family of thirteen children, all of whom grew to maturity, made her life one of patience, constant vigilance, and of sacrificing service and labor, that her children might be properly cared and provided for. That all of her children living were at her bedside during her last moments is mute testimony of a mother's love that gripped the hearts of the children, and held them in an indissoluble bond even to the last. Hers was a Christian faith that trained her children to honor their parents and to have regard for God. Character became inwrought through a mother's training, and principles of strong manhood and womanhood moulded her children into splendid fathers and mothers and good citizens.
In her early womanhood she was school teacher, and throughout her life her interest in school work never abated. She was a reader of the best literature, and instilled into her family a love for the same.
Clarissa Miner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Miner, was born October 15, 1843, at Galva, Illinois. At the age of eleven she moved with her parents to Blairstown, Iowa. Here she was married to F. M. Anderson, September 7, 1865. To this union thirteen children were born, all of whom are living, with the exception of Harry A. and Fred W. Anderson, who preceded their mother in death. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson moved to Nebraska in 1881 and located on a farm near Nemaha, where they lived until 1903 when they moved to Auburn. Mrs. Anderson had been a member of the Church of Christ for many years holding membership in the local congregation.
The funeral took place from the Church of Christ in Auburn on Friday, April 20th, at 2:30 p.m., conducted by Rev. J. W. Sapp of Nemaha, assisted by Rev. B. F. Hall of Auburn. Music was furnished by a quartet consisting of Mrs. H. M. Kraybill, Mrs. Chris Sorenson, Walter Andrews and Sam Bixby. She was laid to rest in the Sheridan cemetery.
The deceased is survived by her husband, eleven children, Mrs. J. W. Gates, Ord, Nebr.; Mrs. W. L. Bradfield, Blackwell, Okla.; Mrs. R. C. Williams, Peru; Dr. S. T. Anderson, Lincoln; Mrs. W. C. Martin, Atlantic, Ia.; and Mrs. J. I. Dressler, Mrs. W. G. Hughes, Ray Anderson, Floyd L. Anderson, Bessie Anderson and Mrs. H. L. Feistner of Auburn; one sister Mrs. Isabelle Coats of Ord, Nebr., thirty-three grandchildren, all of whom, together with many friends, mourn the loss of a loving wife, a devoted mother and a true friend.
Besides the children and sister mentioned above, other relatives who present at the funeral were Mrs. Alice Mettler, Mrs. Ozander Mayhew and Miss Mabel Miner of Blairstown; Mrs. W. A. Greer and Mrs. S. C. French of Omaha; Mrs. L. K. Pettit, Bethany, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs. John Argabright, Cambridge; Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Martin, Shenandoah, Ia., and W. Carey Martin of Atlantic, Ia.
Mrs. Isabelle M. Coats, the only sister of deceased living at Ord, Nebraska, was unable to be present. She is quite aged, being in her eighty-second year, and was ill at the time of the funeral.

To His Final Rest.
David Anderson
From Blairstown Press: After an illness of several weeks duration, David Anderson finally passed away from this life on Thursday morning, December 12th at the home of his daughter, Mrs. May Conklin. The direct cause of his death was cancer of the stomach.
David Anderson was the son of Samuel W. and Matilda Anderson; born in Harrison county, Ohio, February 4, 1837, making him 64 years, 10 months and eight days old at the time of his death. With his parents he came to LeRoy township, Benton county, Iowa, October 22, 1855, and has passed the majority of his days in and around this vicinity. He was one of a large family of children, most of whom are still living, and six of his brothers and sisters were with him during the latter part of his illness. The funeral exercises will be held from the M. E. church this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and the remains will be placed in the Pleasant Hill cemetery.
Besides the brothers and sisters of Mr. Anderson, there are two daughters left to grieve over the passing away of a kind father. One of these, Mrs. Henry, is now living in Chicago, while the other, Mrs. Conklin, still resides at Blairstown. Their many friends extend to all the bereaved relatives their expression of sympathy and comfort at this sad hour that of certainty comes to each of us at one time or another.
