Rev. Alfred Anderson of St. Paul passed away Monday July 31st. The funeral will be held in the Six Mile Grove Lutheran church, and the remains will be laid to rest in the family lot in the church yard. The deceased has been ill for many years, and it has been with the use of a wheelchair that he has been able to carry on a courageous warfare as a minister of the Gospel.
From the Lyle Tribune, Friday 8-11-1939, front page:
Rev. Alfred B. Anderson was born in Lyle, Mower county, Minnesota, on September 24, 1881, the son of Nels and Bertha Anderson. He was baptized and confirmed in the Six Mile Grove Lutheran church near Lyle. Both parents died while he was still young and his education was limited to the elementary grades and a term at St. Olaf Academy. In 1908 he went to San Diego, California where besides his regular employment he worked in the Slum Missions. In 1918 he moved to Los Angeles and attended the Los Angeles Bible Institute for a year and a half. In 1914, he married Gertrude Gulack of Pasadena, California and a year later they moved to St. Paul, Minn., where he entered the United Norwegian Lutheran Church Seminary. His theological training was completed in 1917 and he was ordained in June of the same year in St. Paul at the union meeting which formed the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. He was then called to the Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church at Seattle, Washington.
Following a short ministry in Seattle, he received a special call from the church to take up the work as Lutheran Camp Pastor at Camp Lewis, Tacoma, where he remained until the end of the war. From 1919 to 1922 he served as dean of the Bible Institute of Spokane, Wash., and as vice-president of the institution. He was also pastor of the Manitou Lutheran church. In 1922 he became a member of the faculty of the Lutheran Bible Institute, then in St. Paul, later of Minneapolis. He was taken seriously ill in 1931 but by the miraculous working of God, through prayer and faith, was enabled to recover sufficiently to return to his work. Despite a crippled condition he continued his preaching and teaching from a wheel chair from 1934 until two weeks before his death. He passed away at Fairview Hospital on Monday morning, July 31, 1939. He is survived by his wife Gertrude; two sons, Oscar and Norman; two daughters, Charlotte and Viola; two sisters, Mrs. Albert Hanson of Lyle, Minnesota, and Mrs. Albert Martin of Wilbur, Washington; and one brother, Caius, of Lyle Minn. Interment was made at Six Mile Grove Lutheran church on Friday afternoon at 9 o'clock.
