 Anderson, Welcome Wallace, farmer, Zumbro, is a son of Levi and Harriet (Carpenter) Anderson, 
 of New York, and was born at Rome, that state, June 3, 1851. His youth was passed on a farm there, 
 with little opportunity for education. He is a man of natural endowments, and is a good citizen; 
 politically, a democrat. For six years he has served as town constable, making an efficient officer, and 
 has several times captured offenders where others had failed. He came to this town in 1866, and was 
 several years employed as a farm laborer. In 1875 he bought forty acres on section 18, where his 
 home is, and four years later bought eighty more. He is now comfortably situated on a fine farm. 
 October 12, 1873, he married Ellen C. Pryor, whose parentage is elsewhere shown. The births of their 
 children is here given: Lessie May, November 24, 1874; Wallace Welcome, May 7, 1877; Edith E., 
 January 25, 1879; Harriet C., January 29, 1881.
