Services for O. L. Anderson, who died yesterday afternoon from a heart attack, will be Friday at 11 a.m. First Presbyterian church.
He was stricken at 1:30 yesterday [Feb 5, 1958] after having removed a fishing house from the lake at Angler's bay and was preparing to drive away from Woodyard's livery when his auto didn't have traction.

A few minutes after getting out of his car to free the wheels he fell unconscious and died instantly although he apparently had exerted himself ??? Mrs. Anderson was with him.

Orlando Logan Anderson was born Nov. 18, 1886 at Forest City, the son of John Martin Anderson and Regina Larson Anderson. He attended public school in Forest City.

After employment first in Thompson he then went to Gruver in 1905 where he managed the Northern Lumber company yard until 1929 when he purchased the mill glass and paint store of Thompson and Sweet.

He was married Dec. 10, 1912 at Forest City to Violette Reid.

It was in 1949 that he suffered the first of two severe coronary attacks from which recovery was slow. In 1935 he sold a partial interest in his business to Raymond Schneck and in 1951 sold all of his interest to him and to Ronald Schenck and Glenn Olson retiring from business.

Since that time he has been active with farm interests and has fished and hunted to a considerable extent. There was no advance warning of heart difficulties.

He is survived by his widow; by two children, Mrs. Deemer Lee and Attorney William O. Anderson; by two sisters, Mrs. Peter Kastenholz of Flat Rock, N.C. and Mrs. Emma Bearce of Concord, Calif. and by five grandchildren. Three sisters predeceased him.

The Rev. Thomas G. Melton will officiate at services tomorrow. Pallbearers are Raymond Schenck, Ronald Schenck, Glenn Olson, Earl Reid, Tenner Lilland and Perl Rost. The body is at the Fuhrman Sandin funeral home and burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.(Estherville Daily News, Estherville, IA, February 6, 1958)
