Enoch Bllden Anderson was born at Joplin, Montana on February 28th, 1914. He was the second of four children born to Montana homesteaders, Simon and Ida (Bilden) Anderson. Enoch was raised on the family farm and received his formal education at Joplin, graduating from J.H.S. In 1931. Following the death of his father, Enoch took over the farming operations.
With the outbreak of World, War II, Enoch did not qualify for the draft, so he went to Seattle to work in the shipyards as part of the war effort.
He married Margaret Tempel on December 17th, 1947 at Somers, Montana. In addition to farming at Joplin, Enoch ran an aerial spraying business in Liberty County for several years. He retired in 1973 and continued to live in the Joplin community. Because of failing health in 1989 Enoch moved to the Montana Home for the Aged in Lewistown, where he has lived since. On this past Saturday morning (April 16th, 1994), he died at the Central Montana Medical Center in Lewistown. He was 80 years old.
Enoch was baptized and confirmed at Bethel Lutheran Church in Joplin. He maintained a private pilot's license for many years and enjoyed flying. He also liked to play whist and pinochle, and during his quiet hours at home he enjoyed reading. Before his health failed, Enoch enjoyed traveling between Joplin and Chester to visit with friends.
Survivors include his wife, Maggie of,Joplin; three daughters, Mrs. Earl (Nancy) Elliot of Churchill, Tennessee, Mrs. Ted (Barbara) Turney of Phoenix, Arizona, and Mrs. Wade (Ena) Spiker of Lewiston, Idaho; one son and his wife, Delbert and Connie Anderson of Joplin; ten grandchildren; one brother, Richard "Bud" Anderson of Joplin; one sister, Hazel Freeland of Kalispell; and numerous nephews and nieces.
