Private Adolph Raynold “Andy” Anderson, born 25 Mar 1894, was the son of Gustav and Mathilda Marie (Bjorklund) Andersson of 523 10th Street south (see home pics in replies), Moorhead, Clay County, Minnesota. Moorhead is on the North Dakota state line across the Red River from Fargo in northwest central Minnesota. The family name is spelled with two s’s everywhere I found it.
In the 1900 census 6-year-old Adolph is living with his 48-year-old father, 37-year-old mother, with siblings Lydia 4, and Alexander 1, on 10th Street in Moorhead. His father is a teamster. His parents were both born in Sweden.In the 1905 Minnesota state census 11-year-old Adolph is living with his 53-year-old father, 42-year-old mother, with siblings Lydia 9, and Alexander 6, George 4 and Earnest 2, on 10th Street in Moorhead. His mother is listed as “Kate” in this census.In the 1910 census 15-year-old Adolph is living with his 58-year-old father, 47-year-old mother, and siblings Lydia 13, Alexander 11, George 9, Earnest 7, and Victor 1, at 523 Tenth Street in Moorhead. His father is still a teamster. Adolph is listed with the freshman and sophomore classes in the 1914 and 1915 yearbooks at the North Dakota Agricultural College (now North Dakota State Univ.) in Fargo.His 1917 draft card, shown below, says he was employed by Carl Bjorkquist at the City of Moorhead. Adolph sailed for France from Hoboken with the Camp Hancock September A.R.D. (Automatic Replacement Draft) Company #1, Ordnance, in October of 1918. His person to notify in case of emergency was his father back in Moorhead.A cenotaph marker (see pic in replies) in the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery in Moorhead states that he died Feb. 10, 1919, in Sallmur, France. There is no Sallmur, France. Sallmur is probably a misspelling of Saumur, on the Loire River in western France 77 miles due east of Nantes. The Ordnance Department of the U.S. Field Artillery School was located at Saumur, France.Adolph is listed as Died of Accident and Other Causes 10 Feb 1919. I found no news article or reference to an accident for Pvt Anderson. An accident with an ordnance company probably involves an explosion. Since he is buried at Suresnes, in Paris, and most burials at Suresnes were from the American Hospital in Paris, we can assume he was injured somehow and hospitalized in Paris but didn't survive his injuries.The Argus-Leader (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) 3 Mar 1919, Mon – Page 2 – HONOR ROLL – The following casualties are reported by the commanding general of the American forces: Died from Accident and Other Causes: Private Adolph R.
