Notes

William received a limited common-school education. All his life has been occupied in farming. When 20 years old he came to Zumbro, and was some time occupied in farm labor for others, and in renting land. In 1867 he bought 80 acres of land on Section 19, and has lived thereon since 1869. This land he has cleared of the undergrowth which covered it, and has erected comfortable buildings. He is an independent democrat, and served the town 2 years as town constable. All his possesions have been accumulated by labor since arriving.

William was proprietor of the Anderson House at Wabasha, MN, and one of the city's leading citizens. In 1913 he purchased the old Hurd house in Wabasha, a pioneer hostelry which has been erected in 1855 by B.F. Hurd. He changed the name to the Anderson House and wrought many improvements and alterations.
