IOWA
ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION
VOLUME III
1804-1926
C. G. ANDERSON
Of sturdy Scandinavian stock, Carl G. Anderson has inherited the substantial
qualities of a long line of worthy ancestors, and his ability is indicated
by the fact that when but twenty-four years of age he was chosen postmaster of
Arthur, in which capacity he has since served. He was born April 7, 1898,
in the city of Chicago, and is a son of A. G. and Sophia (Johnson) Anderson,
natives of Sweden. They made the voyage to the United States in 1882 and
lived for several years in Chicago. In 1910 they came to Iowa and the father
devoted his energies to the occupation of farming, bringing his land to a high
state of productivity. Subsequently he opened a meat market in Arthur and has
since made his home in this locality, in which he has many loyal friends.
Carl G. Anderson is the youngest in a family of three children. He attended
the public schools of Chicago and finished his education in Arthur. He
obtained his start in life by clerking in a hardware store and also acquired a
practical knowledge of the meat business. Through the exercise of the qualities
of industry, thrift and self-denial he accumulated sufficient capital to
enable him to embark in business on his own account and is now the owner of his
father's market. He carries only the best grades of meat, and
straightforward, honorable dealing has brought him a large share of public patronage.
In 1921 Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Lurene Wagner, whose
parents are living at Storm Lake, Iowa. Mr. Anderson is a stanch supporter of
the principles of the republican party and in August, 1922, received from the
late President Harding the appointment of postmaster of Holstein. He has
since been retained in the office and his work is performed with speed, accuracy
and system. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Masonic order,
belonging to Arthur Lodge, No. 611, F. and A. M., and endeavors to fulfill in
his life the beneficent teaching of the craft. He has made his own way in the
world and merits and receives the respect of his fellowmen.
