aged 83 yrs 10 mos 4 days
farmer by trade
cause of death: pneumonia and flu
death cert. #36932
John "She" Anderson, a noted character of the Summersville community, died at his home near that city recently at the advanced age of 83 years. "She" Anderson had lived a rugged life. Trained in the rugged school of experience, he early learned the art of self defense and applied it in its crudest form if occasion seemed to merit.
He was a farmer and worked at that honest employment until his death. Just last summer the writer met him in Summersville and he spoke of helping to finish his harvest a few days prior to that time.
The name "She" was applied to him in early life by reason of the fact that in referring to himself he invariably used the pronoun, "she."
He was a great character and in his dealings was always honest. Deception he never practiced. He told the truth and defended it.
"She" Anderson was one of those men who pioneered in the Ozarks. He loved the country, worked hard, and had many friends. He was blessed with long life and active to the end.
