David Anderson was a coal miner and handyman. He was of English and Scottish descent. He lived most of his life in Coshocton, Ohio, but also lived in Wheeling, West Virginia for a time. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War and served in Cuba.
He was a hard-working man, a good husband, and father, and was loved by all who knew him. He was married to the former Hannah Guilliams, daughter of a Civil War veteran Laban Guilliams, who fought for the union.
He was working in a coal mine in 1926 when he was struck by falling debris. Though seriously wounded, he recovered, but finally died as a result of his old injury 5 years later.

In the photo above, David Anderson, Sr. is holding Robert Clifton Anderson, his grandson on a visit to Philadelphia on September 9, 1923.

Robert Clifton died in 2007 at the age of 87.
Sarah E. Dickey is also buried with David and Hannah. Sarah was Hannah's sister. Sarah is buried with David and Hannah because Sarah's husband, Alfred, was an African-American and had to be buried in the African-American section of the cemetery for that reason. Such was segregation at the time.
