CHARLES A. ANDERSON, D. V. S.

Dr. Charles A. Anderson, a veterinary surgeon practicing at Valley City, was born at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, February 11, 1864. His father, A. T. Anderson, a native of Norway, came to America when a young man, settling in Wisconsin, where he married and reared his family, there residing until 1880, when he removed to Barnes county and took up his abode in Ashtabula, where he continued to make his home until 1906, when he removed to Valley City, where he was residing when death called him September 6, 1914, at the age of eighty-eight years. He was a blacksmith by trade and a man of marked energy and business ability. After becoming identified with agricultural interests in North Dakota he gave much attention to stock raising, largely handling cattle that were a cross between Durham and Holsteins and proved splendid milkers.

Charles A. Anderson was one of a family of six children born of his father's second marriage. His youthful days were spent in Wisconsin and his educational opportunities were those provided in a log schoolhouse, for the family were pioneers of that state as well as of North Dakota. After removing to Barnes county he continued to attend school as opportunity offered and later he worked upon the homestead farm of four hundred and eighty acres, which included also a tree claim and preemption claim. There he remained until 1886, when at the age of twenty-two years he turned his attention to the livery business and this led to his interest in the profession to which he now devotes his time and energies. In preparation for practice he entered the Chicago Veterinary College and later opened an Office at Valley City, where he has since continued. For three years he was associated with Dr. J. W. Poole, a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, and later entered into partnership with Dr. C. H. Martin, the partnership continuing for six years. Since that time Dr. Anderson has practiced alone. In 1902 he built a hospital and stable on Front street, which he uses exclusively in his business, the hospital being splendidly equipped for all kinds of veterinary work. He keeps in touch with the latest scientific methods and his services, by reason of his skill and ability, are in constant demand, his practice now being very extensive. He is also the owner of some fine stock and a splendid Percberou stallion weighing over two thousand pounds heads his stud.

Dr. Anderson was first married to Miss Stella M. Wylie, a native of Wisconsin and a daughter of Edgar W. Wylie, a North Dakota pioneer; then in 6 August 6, 1900, to Mrs. Emma L. (Wylie) Hill.

Dr. Anderson is a member of the Knights of Pythias and in that organization and also outside of its ranks he has many warm friends. His professional connection is with the State Veterinary Association and he is a man of acknowledged prominence in his chosen calling.
