IL; age 28 yrs; married; resided Davenport; died Davenport; Cause of death: unresolved pneumonia.” (Lincoln Co Auditor: death certificate) “Jessie Anderson. Dated Aug 1896; married.” (Methodist Ledger);"Passed away. Mrs Jessie Anderson quietly and peacefully passed away at her home in Davenport Sunday morning Sept 6th at half-past four o'clock. She had been unwell six or eight weeks before she came down with pneumonia, about a month before her death. She apparently recovered for a time from pneumonia, but during the last week before her death, symptoms of quick consumption appeared, and in her weak wasted condition, the implacable disease made rapid progress against all attempts to avert or arrest its deadly advance. All that medical skill could do or willing hands avail to win back health was in vain. Death had marked her for its own. Deceased was in the prime of life, and leaves a husband and two little boys, aged six and seven years to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by Rev E A Walker in the Presbyterian church, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, a large part of the town population turning out to pay a last tribute to the departed. The bereaved family thus early deprived of the help of one at a time when aid was most needed, has the sincere sympathy of the community. Mrs Jessie Anderson was born in the state of New York, Feb 6, 1868, and was married to Mr J J Anderson, Sept 6, 1888, her death occurring on the day of the 8th anniversary of her marriage. Two children, Artie and Robbie, aged six and seven years, were born to the union. In the Spring of 1891, Mr Anderson came to the state of Washington, and a year later was joined by his wife and family who have resided in town continuously ever since, during the most of which time Mr Anderson has been in the employ of the Times. In 1891 Mrs Anderson united with the Baptist church, and on her arrival in Davenport took her letter into the ME church, at which place of worship she had regularly attended since." (LCT: 9-11-1896)

Anderson, Joseph R Sr: (1915-2004) “Graveside service for Joe Anderson, Sr, 88, of Colville, was July 13 at Mountain View Cemetery in Davenport. Mr Anderson, a former longtime resident of Davenport, died Friday, July 9. He was born July 17, 1915, in Mullan, Idaho, the son of Clause William and Hanna Christeen Anderson. He was the youngest of a family that included a daughter, who died at an early age, and four sons. At age 4, after his father’s death, his mother moved to Spokane, where she found work and helped put three of her boys through college. At 13, through friends, he got work out on Bald Ridge for the Dietrichs. It was there he discovered his love for the country, farming and animals. One of his duties as a teenage was helping a sheepherder move a herd from its wintering area up Hawk Creek Ranch Road, back across the river at Fort Spokane, to the home ranch near Little Falls on the Indian side of the river. This was done with a buckboard and team and took most of a week. He also talked of chasing wild Indian ponies many a time on Cayuse Mountain. As a young man, he drove a candy and tobacco truck, on routes that included one down the Spokane River and up the Columbia, before the river was raised. He met his future wife, Helen Zeimantz, at a dance at the old No 1 schoolhouse. They married April 10, 1938, and lived with his parents until 1942, when the couple bought a 40-acre farm with no power and very little water. They raised five children there and he worked the farm and for Kaiser Aluminum. There were neighborhood get-togethers, camping, fishing and hunting trips, and in keeping with his desire to someday have a cattle ranch, occasional journeys to potential sites in remote locations. His children recall these trips as ‘exciting’ and remember one that consisted of crossing a large stream on nothing but a couple of large logs. ‘Mother had plenty to say about that bridge, so, needless to say, we re-crossed it and never went back,’ one related. In 1959, he quit Kaiser Aluminum and moved the family to the wheat ranch at Davenport, where they lived until 1980. When he retired, he enjoyed dancing, traveling, going south for the winter, sitting around the campfire singing songs, and passing the cornfield around. After his wife’s death in 1984, he continued to go south for the winter, and met Margaret, his second wife. He belonged to the Mondovi Grange. Besides Margaret, surviving are: four sons, Joe Anderson, Jr, of Davenport, Frank Anderson of Boise, and Lyle and Luke Anderson, both of Spokane; a daughter, Christine Huffman of Reardan; a brother, Herman Anderson of Boulder, CO; 15 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. Strate Funeral Home in Davenport was in charge of arrangements.” (Dav. Times: 7-22-2004)

Anderson, Orlander: (1857-1920); h/o Elizabeth; “Word reached Harrington by wire from Rochester, Minnesota, Thursday Feb 12, of the death of Orlander Anderson, whom only the week before we mentioned as making the trip to the Mayo Brothers to undergo a surgical operation for hernia. The news came as a shock to his children and his many friends. He was born Jan 3, 1858, at Halmstead, Sweden, the son of Andrew and Anna Anderson, and had two brothers, Olaf and Aaron. He received his education before he was sixteen and at that time came via Liverpool and New York to Pennsylvania. In 1878 he journeyed thence to Sierra County, California, and worked for a salary until 1883. In the fall of that year he came to the Big Bend country and located on a homestead eight miles southwest from Davenport, where he resided until the spring of 1917, when he sold his one and three-quarters sections land and purchased another place at Garrison, Montana. After two years of farming in Montana he again sold and made his home at Harrington, buying a half section of farm land near Davenport in 1919, which he still owns. When he settled here the bunch grass prairies were almost unbroken by settlers and he has seen the development of this rich section, during his thirty-six years in Washington. On Dec 27, 1893, Mr Anderson married Miss Elizabeth Johns, a native of Pennsylvania. Her father, Jenkin Johns, was a native of Wales, and came to Pennsylvania when a young man. He was among the first pioneers of Lincoln County. The mother of Mrs Anderson is Anna Johns, also a native of Wales. Mrs Anderson has one brother, William and four sisters, Mary, Minnie, Maggie and Edith. Orlander Anderson is a member of the AF&AM. To Mr and Mrs Anderson were born seven children: John W, Margaret, Dewey, Lloyd, George, Mabel and one child, Alf, who died. The sorrowing wife and children have the sympathy of their friends. The remains of deceased did not arrive until Sunday forenoon on the GN passenger train No. 1 and were met by Mr J E Turner and taken to his undertaking parlors where they lay in state until Monday at 12 o’clock, when, under the auspices of Laurel Lodge No 119, F and AM, the funeral services were conducted, the Rev E C Scott preaching the funeral sermon. The interment was at Davenport Cemetery, where the last rites of the Masonic order were carried out. A large number of friends went to Davenport to be present at the burial of their old friend and neighbor.” (Citizen: 2-20-1920) See also: History of Big Bend.

Anderson, Swan: (1860-1901); h/o Rosa; “Swan Anderson Suicides. Dr Whitney was summoned last Wednesday evening to the home of Swan Anderson near Rocklyn. On his arrival he found that Anderson had swallowed laudanum and whiskey and had also saturated a cloth with Chloroform placing it over his face. Examination showed that he was beyond any help and it was only a matter of time when he would breathe his last. From inquiry it was learned that the deceased had been engaged with the Reddy & Fields thresher and while everything was running, came off the stacks and started for Davenport. He bought of H W Knapp the drugs, signed the register and walked to his home. His wife not knowing of his arrival on the premises had gone out to milk the cows and was startled to hear noises in the hay mow of the barn. She went to one of the neighbors who came home with her and were surprised and horrified to find the body of Anderson as before stated. It is very evident that his mind was deranged and some imaginary trouble caused him to commit the rash act. He had 320 acres of land paid for and was fairly prosperous. A wife and four children are left to face the cold world by the cowardly act of the father. The remains were interred in the Mountain View cemetery Saturday.” (Dav. Tribune: 8-29-1901) “The closing paragraph in regard to the Swan Anderson suicide was inadvertently omitted in Tuesday’s issue, which mentioned the fact of his burial in the cemetery near town, leaving a wife and four small children.” (LCT:8-27-1901) “Anderson, Swan; #528” (Lincoln County Superior Court; probate file, did not view)

The parents of the boy are poor and the case was turned over to Dr R P Moore county physician.

They took him to the office of Dr Moore and then he was operated on by Drs Moore and Myers.
