Joe Anderson died last Sunday morning at 1 o'clock. He was taken down with paralysis Tuesday forenoon last week, and was insensible all the time. Mr. Anderson was a quiet and respected citizen, attending to his own business and leaving other peoples business alone. He was an old settler, coming here in the forties, and an old landmark in this part of the county. To his wife and other relatives it was a sad bereavement, as they could not communicate with him during his last illness. He was burried yesterday at the Pleasant Grove cemetery, where a large number of friends took him to his last resting place. His widow and other near relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. He was about sixty three years old at the time of his death.
