Soon after his marriage he was called on a mission in 1894 to the Southern states where he served for 31 months. He was the first missionary called from the Grover ward. since that time he has served his church on two other missions, going to the Eastern States in 1909 and serving in Texas in 1925.
The family first lived south of grover, but later purchased the large ranch north of Grover where Gilbert Anderson now resides. The family lived in Grover and operated the ranch from there for a time, but later constructed a fine home in 1916 and lived at the ranch.
His wife and also his son, Vernon died during the flu epidemic in 1918. He and his family moved to Providence, Utah in 1920. He married Clara Holm Steen March 30, 1927 in the Logan Temple.

He assisted materially with the building of the present ward chapel, and was keenly interested in it and just recently presented the ward with a lovely painting. He took a prominent part in civic and community affairs and served as Justice of the Peace several terms.
