Thank you for posting the additional information re this person [William Anderson]. I have a 1900 census record where the wife, Louisa states she gave birth to one child - and NONE were living. Perhaps she or the census taker was confused - if there was a married daughter Mrs. Blanchard to be listed at William's 1905 death. Unfortunately, his sister-in-law - wife of brother John Lewis Anderson was listed in the MO state records as having married WILLIAM ANDERSON. The Anderson Bible in the hands of a Grant relative states otherwise. I am not sure if the mistake was made by the minister or the recording clerk. Did you cite an obit - and if so, where could I obtain a copy of it. Jane FLORENCE Guild - wife of John Lewis Anderson - William's brother - is my great-grandmother. Is Louisa Baker Anderson buried in the same plot as her husband? I recall that it is a site set aside for Civil War veterans - did this include wives. Where was the info re William being a judge come from? Perhaps, the reason several of the family moved to Galena.
Thank you!
