Dear Listers, I continued searching for Edward Anderson after I posted this inquiry, and I have discovered that he, although he was christened as Edward Lewis and also went by that name at the time of the WW1 draft registration in 1918, he is listed with his parents in the 1905 census as Eddie M. Anderson! And Edward M. Anderson, a carpenter, born in MN 1877 (with parents born Norway/Sweden), was married at Englewood, Arapahoe Co., CO on Apr. 3, 1923 to Pearl Zell Tucker, born in Tompkins Co., NY Apr. 27, 1894, and they resided 1930 and 1940 at Englewood, CO where Edward died Apr. 9, 1941. He was survived by Pearl and was buried in the Littleton, CO cemetery! One of the brothers in this family, it mus have been either Edward or Herbert (see separate inquiry which follows...), is said to have been a turkey rancher at Ft. Morgan, Morgan Co., CO, so maybe he lived there for a while as well? Unless that was Herbert? This finding solves most of my problem regarding Edward, BUT I still need some help to find: * Perhaps an OBITUARY for Edward Anderson? * What happened to Pearl AFTER Edward died - a newspaper notice of a remarriage or other info? Thanks again for your wonderful assistance in this mater! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On May 25, 2015, at 4:58 PM, Lars E.
