John Anderson, a fruit grower of Ogden, was born in Norway in 1847, and during his youth he served an apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade. He developed marked skill and ability in work of that character and early in life he began contracting and building on his own account. He was thus engaged in business in Norway until 1898 when he determined to try his fortune in the new world.
Long before leaving his native land Mr. Anderson was married, Miss Martha Petersen becoming his wife in 1873. To them were born four children: Andrew; Peter Carrie and Olaf, the last named now deceased.
With his family Mr. Anderson came to the new world and made his way direct to Utah. He settled in Ogden and soon afterward purchased a ranch at Ninth and Lincoln streets, thereon erecting a comfortable residence. He at once occupied the new home and began the development of the place by setting out a fine orchard of apple, peach and cherry trees together with considerable small fruit. He has made the business very profitable, caring for his frees along the most scientific methods, spraying and promoting the growth of the trees by the judicious use of fertilizers. In fact everything about his orchards indicates a progressive spirit and the indomitable enterprise of the owner.
Mr. Anderson is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is serving as high priest of the North Heber stake. His son Peter is first counselor to Bishop Terry of the thirteenth ward. Both of the sorts are connected with their father in the fruit raising business and occupy property adjacent to the home place. Mr. Anderson has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new world, for during the twenty-one years of his residence here he has made substantial progress in a business way and has ever enjoyed the friendship and kindly regard of those among whom he has cast his lot.
