- PIONEER RESIDENT PASSED AWAY
John F. ANDERSON, a resident of Crawford county for close to half a century, passed away at Mercy Hospital at 5:30 o'clock Thrusday morning following a lingering illness. Mr. ANDERSON had been in ill health for a long time, and two weeks previous to his passing was taken to Mercy Hospital. His illness was such that it was incurable, but he was made as comfortable as possible.

Mr. ANDERSON was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 29, 1868, and came to America when he was 18 years old. He settled in Chicago, residing there until about 1890, when he came to Crawford county. In 1892 he was united in marriage to Millie HOESLI, oldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fred F. HOESLI. He worked for Salling Hanson Company, and then in the late 90's the family moved to New York. In 1901 they again came north and settled in Lewiston, where he also worked at lumbering. Crawford county seemed to appear the best place for them for in 1903 they returned here and bought some land of the late Rasmus HANSON in Maple Forest township, and in the course of time built the farm house that was their home until 1926. The land was covered with a growth of virgin timber and Mr. ANDERSON cut down tyrees to make space for a house and built it of th elogs. He sold the farm in 1926 to his son Fred, who in turn disposed of it to his sister, Mrs. Alvin RICHTER, and where that family lives. Three years ago Mr. and Mrs. ANDERSON came to Grayling to make their home, purchasing the Clyde PETERSON house on Spruce street.
Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. ANDERSON, one child passing away in infancy. Those surviving besides the widow include two daughters, Mrs. Alvin RICHTER, Maple Forest; Mrs. George FILBERT, and two sons Fredrick P. and Harold, of Flint. Also one brother Andrew ANDERSON, who resides in Portland, Oregon, and there are several brothers and sisters in Denmark.
Mr. ANDERSON was a fine citizen and through all the years he was held in high esteem by a large circle of neighbors and friends. He had been a member of Grayling Oddfellow lodge for a long number of years.
Mrs. ANDERSON and her sons and daughters have the sympathy of many in their be-reavement. (3 Mar 1938)
