Add Anderson was the son of John Howard Anderson and Elizabeth Angeline McConnell. He married Linnie Jane Duncan, the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Hays Duncan, January 22, 1885 in Shelby County, Indiana. He was self employed as a Carpenter and Building Contractor and was married 65 years at the time of his death living all of his married life in Gwynneville.
Add and Linne Jane Anderson were pioneers of the Gwynneville community. Just a year before his death they were nearing their 64th wedding anniversary. In reminiscing about the old days he remembered that it was unsafe to go to church after dark for scallywags would steal the buggy whips and robes and sometimes a part of the harness so the men would start taking their whips and robes into the church with them.
