Anderson, August (1843 - 7 Jan 1913)

August Anderson met his death by accidentally falling down the cellar at his place of business Tuesday night about six o’clock. No one saw the accident so it can not be stated how it happened. He lived a short time after he was found, but did not regain consciousness.

Mr. Anderson was born in Swede, and was nearly seventy years of age. He was one of Neillsville, Clark County’s old residents, having lived here many years, and had a very wide acquaintance. He leaves his wife and three sons, Albert, Frank and Victor, and two daughters, Elsie, and Esther, also three brothers and one sister in California.

Mr. Anderson was a veteran of the Civil War and a member of the G.A.R. He was considered a very honest man, a good neighbor and a kind father. At this writing the time of the funeral has not been fixed.
