Edith Waterman was the youngest daughter of Charles and Mary Arnold Waterman. She had 2 sisters and 1 brother growing up in Bozeman. Edith attended local Bozeman schools, graduating from High School around 1930. It is not clear whether she attended MT State University like her siblings.

In 1934 she married Paul Anderson who was born in Denmark. He was a plastering contractor. They had one daughter in 1941, named Mary Kirsten.

During World War II Paul served in the Army overseas. During his absence, Edith and Kirsten went to live with her parents on Main St. After Edith's father died in 1945, they stayed on to take care of her mother, and the house was given to them in exchange.

Sometime in the 1950s, the Andersons built a malt/ice cream shop in front of their Main St home and ran that until about 1969. According to local residents of the time, it was the place to go for a sweet treat after school.

In the very early 1970s, Edith and Paul sold the ancestral home of Edith's grandparents and moved down to Huntington Beach, CA. (Unknown to them, the house was later moved and is still in existence in 2016 on a side street near Main St).

Paul died there in Huntington Beach in 1980. Edith continue to live there until the 1990s, when she moved to Colorado to be near her daughter and grandchildren.

She died in CO and is buried with her husband in So CA.
