A Narrative History of The People of Iowa Volume IV 1931
MISS MAE C. ANDERS, assistant librarian of the Public Library of Des
Moines, is a very competent lady, and one of whose courtesy, unfailing fidelity to
duty and inspiring interest in her work the people of this city owe much. She
was graduated from the University of Iowa and took graduate work in Library
Science at the University of Illinois.
The parents of Miss Anders, H. F. and Florence (Guthrie) Anders, are now
deceased. He was born at Greensburg, Ohio, and she at Urbana, Iowa. About 1873 he came to Iowa and was graduated from the State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowa, and for many years was engaged in teaching and later in the practice of civil engineering. Both he and his wife were consistent members of the Congregational Church. In political faith he was a Republican. They had two children born to them, namely: Miss Anders and her younger sister, Ida A. The latter is assistant professor of home economics, University of Tennessee, and she was educated at Ames, Iowa, College.
The maternal grandfather of Miss Anders, Dr. James Alexander Guthrie, distinguished himself in both medicine and politics, and was a member of the Iowa Legislature from Butler and Benton counties.
