L. T. Anderson, proprietor of the Pioneer Harness Store in Carroll County, established his business in October, 1877, which he has since continued. He keeps a full stock of everything found in a first-class harness shop, and has a large trade, employing three or four hands. Mr. Anderson was born in Denmark June 4, 1851, son of H. and Catherine Anderson. When he was sixteen years of age he left his native county and came to America, his first location being in Story County, Iowa. He commenced to work at his trade in 1874 at Webster City, where he worked until the fall of 1877, when he came to Carroll, where he has since resided. In December, 1878, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Anderson, also a native of Denmark, and a daughter of John and Mary Anderson, of Story County. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are the parents of four children—Minnie C., Carrie L., John T. and Lewis H. Mr. Anderson is a member of the Masonic order, Signet Lodge, 264. By fair and honest dealing he has secured the confidence of all who know him.~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
