      JOHN ANDERSON,*  not proofed by submitter
  
  [p. 1013] a substantial and progressive citizen of Pulaski Township,
  Lawrence County, Pennsylvania is the owner of a farm of sixty-five acres
  and is engaged in general farming. He comes of a prominent old family of
  Pulaski Township, where he was born November 23, 1852. He is a son of
  Thomas and Susan (Robinson) Anderson, and a grandson of John Anderson,
  who was a soldier of the American Revolution and became one of the
  earliest residents of Pulaski Township. The family is of Scotch-Irish
  extraction.
  
  Thomas Anderson was born in Pulaski Township, and lived there throughout
  a long and useful life, engaged in agricultural pursuits. In his later
  years he was a Republican in politics, and was frequently called upon to
  serve his township in offices of public trust. Religiously, he was a
  member of the United Presbyterian Church of New Bedford. He was united
  in marriage with Susan Robinson, who was born in Union Township,
  Lawrence County, in March, 1904. His death occurred June 22, 1900. Of
  the issue of their union the following are now living: Sadie M., of New
  Bedford, Pa.; Martha J., wife of H. J. Montgomery, of New Castle; and
  John, whose name heads this sketch.
  
  John Anderson was reared on the home farm and received his preliminary
  education in the common schools, supplemented by a course in Poland
  Seminary, at Poland, Ohio. He has always engaged in farming, except for
  four years, when he owned an interest in a drug and stationery store at
  New Bedford, at the same time serving as postmaster of that village
  under appointment of President Harrison. He maintained his residence on
  his farm during that time, and has been a resident there for more than a
  quarter of a century. He is a man of great energy, thoroughly modern in
  the methods he employs, and has attained a high degree of success in his
  work. He takes an earnest interest in all questions of importance to the
  community, giving active support to such measures as tend to improve and
  add to its material welfare.
  
  Mr. Anderson was joined in marriage with Letitia Irvine, who is a native
  of Pulaski Township, and is a daughter of Thomas and Crissy (Ewing)
  Irvine. Her father died and is survived by Mrs. Irvine, who lives in
  Mahoning County, Ohio. Mr. Anderson is an ardent Republican in politics
  and served his township as road supervisor one year.
