      ISAAC S. ANDERSON,
  
  [p. 692] general contractor, at New Castle, occupies a leading place
  among a very capable body of men who have converted this city into the
  beautiful place that is noted for its elegant private residences as well
  as substantial business structures. Mr. Anderson was born in 1866, in
  Wilmington Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.
  
  Samuel Anderson, the venerable father of Isaac S., was also born in
  Lawrence County. He was engaged in contracting for a number of years,
  but for the past ten years has been interested in a sawmill business and
  continues to reside on his old homestead.
  
  Isaac S. Anderson was reared and educated in Lawrence County and worked
  on the home farm until he was nineteen years old. He then learned the
  carpenter trade, with which he has occupied his time ever since, and for
  the past five years he has followed general contracting, during three
  years of this period being associated with George Strohecker. For the
  past two years he has operated individually. Among the many excellent
  pieces of work completed by Mr. Anderson may be named the West Pittsburg
  Street schoolhouse, a residence for Samuel Rhodes on Highland Avenue,
  the Broadbent residence on Sumner Avenue and others of equally pleasing
  style and substantial character. Mr. Anderson owns his own handsome
  residence at No. 378 West Washington Street.
  
  In December, 1888, Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Julia Gillespie, of
  Michigan, and they have three children: Margaret, Carrie and Hazel.
