Born in London, Ont., March 14, 1876, Mr. Anderson came to this country at the age of three. After spending sometime in Los Angeles and Colorado, he moved to Prescott and engaged in the drug store business in 1899. Twelve years ago, in 1927, he came to Wickenburg and entered into the café business, opening al's Café at the Hill's Garage. Always interested in civic affairs he was an active member in the Round-up Club and other local civic organizations. The business houses in Wickenburg closed between 3 and 3:30 this afternoon at which time the funeral was being held. The only immediate survivor is his wife, Mrs. Myrna Anderson, also well known here and for whom the sympathy of the community pours forth without stint at this time of bereavement. Her brother arrived here Wednesday from California to near Mrs. Anderson at this time. See Also: Find A Grave |
