Melvin was born November 2, 1904, to Ole and Mary (Knutson) Anderson on the home farm in Barton township, Worth County. He was baptized and confirmed at Deer Creek Lutheran Church, rural Carpenter, and was a lifelong member. He attended Carpenter school.
He was united in marriage to Lurene Anderson on April 6, 1935. He and Lurene farmed in the North Iowa area until 1969, when they retired to Carpenter.
He enjoyed fishing, going south for the winter in their camper and following the exploits of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
