Father: Meredith ANDERSON (1808-1888)

Misc. Notes
Col. Hugh Anderson was born near Oxford in 1838. His father, Col. Meredith Anderson, was born in Harrison County. His mother was born in this county and before marriage was Miss Mary Jane Barkley. Col. Meredith Anderson conducted a large hemp factory in Leesburg from 1845 to 1850. Col. Hugh Anderson began farming early in life. In 1873 he purchased a large tract of land lying midway between Oxford and Georgetown on the Geogetown and Oxford turnpike, which is now one of the best farms in that portion of the county. Col. Anderson has for the past thirty years been a breeder of stock of all kinds, but pays most of his attention to cattle, hogs and sheep. He is also among the largest raisers of tobacco having a number of tenants on his place the year around. He does not rent his land but superintends it himself. He lives in town and goes to and from his place. Col. Anderson married Miss Elvira Allen, of Bourbon County in 1865. He has seven children living - D. Everett Anderson, who is employed by Uncle Sam in the Philippines; Mrs. Lida Roberts of Paris; Robert the owner of Tea's Over, the dam of Dick Welles; Meredith, a shoe dealer of Paris; Clarence who lives in the West; Mrs. William S. Kelly, of this city and Mrs. Earl Ferguson of Fayette County, Col. Anderson is a very popular man, noted for being accommodating, liberal at all times and one of the best natured and big hearted men as can be found anywhere. There is "nothing small" in this man, and no person suffers for food or fuel if he knows it. Col. and Mrs. Anderson have a suite of rooms at the Wellington where they board. They generally spend the winter in Florida. They moved from their place to town some years ago. Col. Anderson was appointed City Engineer in 1895, and served six years. It can truthfully be said that the streets were kept in better condition then than they have before or since. B.O. Gaines History of Scott County Page 145.

Misc. Notes
From the Georgetown paper:
Mrs. Elvira Anderson wife of Co. H. S. Anderson of this city died last Thursday morning at nin o'clock at St. Joseph's hospital in Lexington, of heart trouble. Mrs. Anderson had been at the hospital since Saturday, but her death came as a shock to her relatives and friends who did not realize her precarious condition. Mrs. Anderson was formerly Miss Elvira Allen, a daughter of Mr. Asa Allen of Bourbon County and had been married forty three years. The body was brought to Georgetown Thursday afternoon and taken to the residence of her son, Mr. R. H. Anderson, on Broadway.

She is survived by her husband and seven children, four sons and three daughters - Hon. R. M. Anderson of Georgetown; Dr. Everett Anderson of Devil's Lake, North Dakota, Meredith and Clarence Anderson of Butte Montana; Mrs. Lida Roberts and Mrs. Earl Ferguson of Paris, and Mrs. William S. Kelly, of Georgetown.

The funeral was held at the residence of her son, Robert Anderson, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. B. A. Dawes, of the Baptist Church. The body was buried in the Georgetown Cemetery. The pall-bearers were Dr. J.E. Pack, George Ware, W. A. Gaines, Jas. Y. Kelly, George V. Payne, A. L. Ferguson, Ed. Holly and R. B. Thomas.

ANOTHER GOOD WOMAN GONE.
"One more soul is safely anchored
In the harbor of the blest;
One more home left sad and lonely
One more body laid to rest.

The funeral services of Mrs. Elvira anderson, wife of Col. Hugh Anderson, took place at the home of her son, Hon. Robert H. Anderson, Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. B. A. Dawes.

. . . . (same as above)

Mrs. Anderson was a member of the Baptist Church a living Christian during her whole life lovely, devout and sincere; the good deeds, the noble, humble life she lived, all these attest to her worth far more than the perishing marble stone or high reared shaft of granite. The esteem and affection in which she was held spoke more eloquently than words in the presence of a large concourse of mourners who sat around the bier Monday while Rev. B.A. Dawes spoke the last sad rites over the dead, and gave comforting knowledge to those that are left on earth that this parting is just for a brief period; that all shall sooner or later pass into the mysteries of the great beyond, where life's cares are forgotten and where all shall be one glorious reunited family around God's throne, singing the praise of Him who has been a solace during the trials and tribulations of earth.

Her remains were tenderly laid to rest in the silent city of the dead in Georgetown Cemetery Monday afternoon, where the large concourse of friends and relatives paid their last sad respects due the departed.

Oh the grave! From its peaceful bosom spring non but fond regrets and tender recollections. But the grave of a precious mother, will ever bring to mind the thousand of endearments lavished almost unheeded.

The family has our sympathy in the loss of wife and mother, whose place can never again be filed, but live so that they will join her in that beyond, and when they go to visit her grave to drop a tear, they should remember her teachings, which have safely guided them in this life up to the time of her demise, and who is, today, still watching over their pathway.

'Tis finished, mother, they work is done,
Thy patience has a lesson taught,
We miss thee in the dear old home,
But thou art safe, what a cheerful
thought

Yes safe in a land of love and light,
at rest from pain and sorrow free
we would not wish thee back again
yet we shall one day dwell with thee.

Misc. Notes
The Andersons.-William Anderson, a Scotchman and colonel in the Revolutionary War, married a daughter of Colonel Hinkston, and came to Kentucky about the year 1784. His wife died, and he married Miss Miller. Eight children were born to them. One of their sons, John Miller Anderson, married the young widow of a Mr. Falconer, whose maiden name was Helena Pope. Helena Falconer had one child, Mary, when she married Mr. Anderson, who afterward became Mrs. Hoffman, of this town. The children of Helena and John M. Anderson were Hugh Miller and Pugh Miller-twin sons--Thomas William, Robert, A. Keller, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Thomas and Orra. Robert was killed while fighting bravely in the Confederate army at Chickamauga. A. Keller Anderson was captain in the same army; he is now brigadier-general in the standing army of Tennessee. June, 1892, he and his men were ordered to quell a riot in a miners' camp at Coal Creek. He built a block-house in eight of the Coal Creek camp, and in place of sending one of his men among the dangerous rioters he took a flag of truce and went himself. He did not return that night nor the next morning, and his men began to suspect that the miners had failed to respect the flag of truce, and that their general was perhaps murdered. They began to shell the camp, and General Anderson escaped just after his trial was ended and he had been sentenced to be hanged. The miners bad offered him his life and liberty if he would surrender his men and the block-house to them. On his refusal to comply they passed the death sentence. He inherited his courage from his mother, who was as brave a woman as ever lived, and as true a soldier of the cross as ever followed Christ. [1]
