GEO. ANDERSON DIES AT HOME EASTER MORN
Well Known Business Man and Former Alderman Passes Away Sunday; Burial Wednesday
George T. Anderson, 69, one of the organizers of the Manitowoc Seed Co., a
director of the First National bank, former alderman from the Sixth ward, and
one of the leaders in the movement for the new Hotel Manitowoc here, passed
away at his home Sunday morning, after more than a year of suffering. He made
a brave battle against odds but death came to relieve him yesterday. The passing
of Mr. Anderson removed from the affairs of this life a prominent business man
and respected citizen.
Funeral services will be conducted from the one on North Thirteenth street
Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock with Rev. D. G. Ristad of the First Lutheran
church conducting the services. Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.
Came to City in 1903
The deceased came of that group of old pioneer Norwegians who since 1848 have
built the Gjerpen and Valders communities. His parents were among the earliest
settlers in the town of Manitowoc Rapids. He was born on the homestead, a mile
east of the Gjerpen church, March 15, 1862. Here he grew to manhood. In due time
he took over the homestead and operated it until 1903 when he sold the farm and
moved to this city, where he has since made his home.
Mr. Anderson, all ready interested in the Manitowoc Seed Co. became vice president
of the company and gave his energy, enthusiasm and ability in the building up of
the affairs of that company to its present success. In the spring of 1927 Mr.
Anderson's health began to fail and he sold his stock in the Seed Co. and retired.
Director in National Bank
In his other activities the deceased was a director of the First National Bank and
was one of the prime movers in the founding and building of the Hotel Manitowoc on
the north side. He was also connected with the Citizens Loan and Investment Co.
serving as vice president of that company. He was a charter member of the Kiwanis
club, a member of the Elks club, and an active and loyal worker in the First
Lutheran church. Mr. Anderson, for a time, also represented the Sixth ward in the
city council.
The deceased was married on Nov. 21, 1889 to Ida Vetting, who survives him together
with one daughter, Ella, at home. A brother Theodore Anderson and three sisters,
Mrs. Henry Fehrman, Mrs. Charles Fehrman of this city and Mrs. Hans Halverson of
Sawyer, Wis., together with several nephews and nieces also survive.
