Another esteemed Princeton pioneer,
and a veteran of the Civil war,
joined the great majority when Charles
Anderson departed this life at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Oswald
King, in this village on Wednesday
evening of last week. General break
down due to old age was the cause of
death.
Brief and simple funeral services
were conducted from the King residence
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
and were largely attended. Rev. E.B.
Service delivered the sermon, and the
Methodist quartet sang several
beautiful selections. Interment was
in Oak Knoll cemetery.
Charles Anderson was born in Brunswick,
Maine, August 9, 1834, so at the
the time of his demise was 81 years,
six months and 21 days old. He was
united in marriage in 1854 to Miss
Lydia Cole, and came to Princeton the
same year. Eight children blessed
this union, six of whom are living, viz:
Mrs. V. D. Crandal, Robbinsdale, Robt.
Anderson, Phoenix, Arizona John Anderson,
Mrs. Oswald King, Mrs. Alice Townsend,
and Mrs. A. Howard of Princeton.
Mrs. Anderson answered
the final summons 27 years ago.
Deceased was a good and patriotic
citizen and served three years in the
war of the Rebellion with honor and
credit, being a member of Co. of the
immortal First Minnesota. Each year
the grim reaper exacts his toll in the
ranks of the survivors of those who
battled to preserve the unity of our
country, and it is ever an unpleasant
task to chronicle the passing of one of
the old boys in blue.
The children desire to express their
sincere appreciation to the neighbors
and other friends who kindly tendered
sympathy and aid to them in their
bereavement. They are truly thankful.
