ENOS A. ANDERSON FINAL RITES HELD
Enos A. Anderson, second son of Martin and Sarah May Anderson, was born February 28, 1870, in Monroe county, Iowa, and departed this life Nov. 7, 1945, at the Bronson Methodist hospital at Kalamazoo, Mich., at the age of 75 years, 8 months and 10 days.
He spent his boyhood days on a farm in Monroe county. He graduated from the Chariton academy in 1891, attended Western college at Toledo, Iowa Business college and Drake University, in Des Moines.
In 1897 he was united in marriage to Alice Howard, who preceded him in death January 11, 1928.
After studying law in the office of James Penick, he was admitted to the Iowa Bar in 1898 and started practicing law in Chariton in 1900 in the office of his devoted friend, James Penick. Theirs was a very close and beautiful association for the next 10 years.
From 1911 until 1933 he maintained his own office in the State Savings Bank building, then moved into the present location, where he was still active at the time of his death.
Enos was very active in civic and community affairs. In order that the people of Chariton might have the advantages of public utilities, he organized the People's Gas Co. 1912-13, and later the Lucas County Telephone Co. and has been director of the telephone company ever since. He was a charter member of the Vanward literary club, past president of Second District Bar association and has been a member of Rotary International since 1930. At the time of his death he was president of the local bar association, an office which he has held for the past 15 years. He was interested in and worked hard for the progress of his town and community.
In World War I he served as executive secretary for the Y.M.C.A. for 10 months, 6 months of them in France.
In 1938 he married Lucile M. Bailey, who has also been his law associate since 1934, and who survives him. Together they organized the Anderson Cold Storage Locker plant in 1939.
Mr. Anderson was a life long member of the Methodist church of Chariton, having been secretary and president of the board of trustees at various times, and having served in many other activities of the church, Sunday school and Epworth League.
His hobby was traveling. A great part of his vacation time was spent in touring the United States, Mexico and Canada.
For the past six months he had been ill. In the middle of October he went to the hospital at Kalamazoo, where his daughter, Mary Bernice, is superintendent of nurses. In spite of all medical science and loving care could do, he was called to his reward by the Master early Wednesday morning.
He is survived by his widow, Lucile M. Anderson, daughter Mary Bernice Anderson, of Kalamazoo, Mich., stepdaughter, Margarette Bailey, of Des Moines, a sister, Lulu Elliott, of Kirksville, Mo., a brother, Charley Anderson, of Bethany, Mo., and a number of nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and admirers.
The community is grieved at the loss of one of its most respected and aggressive citizens, as evidenced by the largely attended funeral services and the profuse floral tribute. He was a devoted husband and loving father, interested in the happiness and welfare of all his family and associates.
Judges of the second Judicial District, members of the Lucas County Bar Association and Justice C. F. Wennerstrum, of the Supreme Court of Iowa served as honorary pall bearers. James Holmes, Ellis Foster, Joyce Klepinger, Tom Nutt, Geo. Bradford and Ron Levis, fellow Rotarians, were active pall bearers. Quiet music and the hymns "Abide with Me" and "No Night There" were rendered by Mrs. Ellis Foster, Mrs. Lewis Shelton, Mrs. Helen Gilmore and Miss Margaret Bowen.
