He moved his family back to Jefferson township of this county in 1893, and that had since been his home.

He is survived by his wife; three daughters, Mrs. Blanche Hendricks and Mrs. Mae Addy of Winterset and Mrs. Ethel Brittain of Jefferson township; a son, George Myers of Des Moines; 24 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Tuesday from Anderson's home for funerals, in charge of the Rev. I. E. Linkletter, pastor of the Winterset Church of Christ. Burial was made in the McDonald cemetery in Jefferson township, near his birthplace.
