Mr. Anderson was one of the largest landowners and most successful farmers in the county. His wealth has steadily increased for the last thirty years, and at his death his estate is not far short of a hundred thousand dollars. He will be greatly missed by his neighbors, as he was kind and obliging to all, and especially to those who needed help. His bounties have been dispensed like the dews of heaven, while silently its effects have been felt, and those who shared in it, will sorrow at the death of one whom to them has been a dear friend. His demise will be severely felt by the laboring class who have depended on him for their daily bread for many years. About five years ago he connected himself with the Wicomico Presbyterian church at Rockawalking, and was a regular attendant on divine service until ill health prevented him from getting about. He leaves three sons, one daughter and several grandchildren to mourn their loss.

The deceased had come to the city at that time in the schooner Cadi, belonging to his father, Mr. Isaac Anderson, for the purpose of superintending the sale of a cargo of grain and wood. The sales were effected, but no payments made, and he disappeared with scarcely a trace of his whereabouts. It was subsequently ascertained that he was in company with parties on Fell's Point, whom he left at a late hour of night. It is supposed that in the effort to make his way to his way to his vessel, which laid in the stream opposite the draw-bridge he missed his way and accidentally fell overboard at the point where his body was found. Coroner Spicer held an inquest , and a verdict was rendered of accidental drowning. A gold watch, with sundry papers, was found upon his person. The body was taken in charge, at the instance of friends, by Mr. Fry, undertaker, and prepared for sending to his late home in Wicomico county. Balto. Sun, 19th instant. The remains arrived at Salisbury last Tuesday afternoon and were immediately conveyed to the residence of Mr. Isaac Anderson, the father of the deceased, and interred in the family cemetery.
