The Fred Anders Family
Fred Anders was born Feb. 28, 1877, near Chicago, Ill. When he was 11 years old, he moved with his parents into the Creighton, Nebr., community. Here, he received his education and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. Fred was married to Johanna Wenke, who was born on January 29, 1874, in Oldenburg, Germany. She immigrated to this country with her parents, one sister and two brothers at the age of six years. She grew to womanhood near Hooper, Nebr. Here, she received her education and was confirmed in the Lutheran faith.
To this union, eight children were born: four sons, Henry, Clarence, Louie and William, and four daughters, Ella, Irene, Edna and Lena, who passed away April 16, 1907, at the age of one year.
The Anders family moved to their farm four and a half miles west of Lindy in the spring of 1913. Mr. Jessie Dart, their good friend and landlord for many years, took Mrs. Fred Anders and four children, Irene, William, Louie and Ella to their new home. Henry drove a team with a load of furniture. Clarence drove cattle which followed a hayrack loaded with hay. Fred Anders and some neighbors followed with more loads.
After a year at their new home, it was destroyed by fire. Henry, Clarence and Ella were picking corn by hand with team and wagon and saw the smoke coming out of the roof of the house. They unhooked the tugs and left the horses in the field and ran to the house. Mother and Father Anders had just finished milking and were separating when the children came into the house screaming fire. Four of the children, Louie, William, Irene and Edna, were playing in the dining room, just under the room where the fire was burning. Father and Mother Anders got the children out just as the upper floor fell in. Friends and neighbors came with buckets to carry water to keep the fire from spreading. Fred Anders passed away March 13, 1926, and Mrs. Anders on Nov. 10, 1930.
Edna, who taught the Lindy school for three years, and her husband, Carl Schroeder, live on their farm two miles east and two miles south of Lindy. Their son, Eugene, his wife, Barbara, and their three children live nearby on the former Elmer Hilfiker farm. Henry Anders is semi-retired. He and his wife, Louise, live on their farm three miles east and one mile south of Lindy. Ella, Mrs. George Lentz, and her husband live in Bloomfield. They sold their farm and are retired.
Clarence Anders and his wife, Elva, lived on their farm one mile west and three-fourths mile south of Bloomfield until Clarence's death Feb. 4, 1967. His wife moved to Bloomfield and passed away Oct. 14, 1975. Irene Anders, still living at the old Anders home place, started her teaching career in 1931 in the Lindy community, at the Rogers School, rural Dist. 147, for four years and at rural school Dist. 69 for 29 years. She then taught 12 years at the Niobrara Public School and is presently teaching at Santee, Nebr.
Louis Anders, who had a stroke about 10 years ago, is now making his home with Mr. and Mrs. William Anders. Louie still owns the home place. William Anders owns his place one mile west of the home place and also farms Louie's farm.
