Franklin Earl Anderson was raised by Frank Hume and Elvira Anderson (Florence
Howell's grandmother) in one story wooden house 150-200 yards off road at
Raymond Putnam Jr.'s (lot behind Jr.'s barn).

On June 4, 1993, John Moore told James Joseph Chrisman at his home on Caven Road in Green Township that he had heard Florence Howell tell Martha Ann Anderson Chrisman that
Christopher James Kleinhans looks like Frank Anderson when Frank was a young
man.

On 25 January 1989 Earl Gallimore told James Joseph Chrisman that Frank Anderson was the hardest working man he ever knew. He said everyone was glad when he came to help whether it was for harvesting, butchering or whatever because he was such a hard worker. He said he worked with horses longer after tractors came in than anyone in the community.

From Sidney Daily News, 8 Feb 1980, 50 Years (Ago) - 8 Feb 1930

"The story-and-a-half, seven-room farm house, belonging to Frank Anderson in Green township, was destroyed by fire about 10 o'clock this morning. Some of the household goods in the downstairs were gotten out, but nothing was saved from the upstairs rooms. The blaze was apparently started by a defective flue."
