WILLIAM ANDERSON, wagon and carriage manufacturer, was born in
Johnson County, Ind., May 4,1844, and is the youngest in a family of seven
children born to James and Mary (Coy) Anderson, both natives of Kentucky,
and of English descent.  James Anderson was educated and married in his
native State.  In 1828, he removed to Bartholomew County, Ind., then almost
a wilderness.  Here he entered land and commenced improving a farm, upon
which he resided until his death, which occurred in September, 1865.  Himself
and wife were members of the Separate Baptist Church.  William Anderson,
the subject, received a fair common school education, and was employed on
his father's farm until he was twenty-one years old.  He then farmed on shares
for some four years, after which he commenced to learn the carriage and wagon
maker's trade, serving an apprenticeship of three years, and has followed the
trade ever since.  In the fall of 1881, he removed to Gosport, Owen County, 
Ind., and in the following spring came to Eminence, Morgan County, Ind.,
where he married, December 22, 1865, to Emarine N. Slack, a native of
Johnson County, Ind.  Six children blessed their union, five of whom--two
sons and three daughters--are yet living.  In politics, he is identified with the
National, or Greenback, party, and is one of the enterprising mechanics and
business men of the township and county.
