"The Angel of Death has again waved his sable wings over St. John's Lodge No. 36. The shadow still throws its dark gloom over our brethren. The insatiate Archer levelled his shafts at one of our youngest, yet one of our best members, one whose example was worthy of being followed by many of us, who are much older both in years and in Masonry. Brother James Anderson, late our Senior Warden, has been summoned to the Courts above. He went as one who had no fears. He died full of the hope which sustains 'the pure in heart,' who are pronounced by Divine authority to be 'blessed' because they shall see God." (From the Lodge minutes, 11 March 1879.)
His grave in the Alexander Anderson plot, near his parents and several siblings, is unmarked.
