      BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF FAYETTE CO, IOWA - 1891
      AMANUEL JAMES ANDERS, who is engaged in the practice of law in Oelwein, is a native of Ohio. He was born near near New Philadelphia, October 11, 1850, and is a son of Amariah and Mary (Imler) Anders, the former born near Baltimore, MD, Dec 25, 1801, of German and Irish descent, and the latter born in Bedford, Bedford Co., PA, in December 1808, of German parentage. The family moved to Indiana in 1853, locating near Muncie, where they resided until 1858, when they emigrated to Iowa, locating in Buchanin Co. The father died June 4, 1861, and the mother subsequently removed to Fayette Co where her death occurred May 5, 1887. They had a family of twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, eight of whom lived to mature years: Daniel, the eldest, married Matilda H Hearn and died in March, 1889; John wedded Caroline Robinson and died in March, 1869; Sarah is the wife of C W Wooley, of Hoskins, Neb; Willaim married Julia Burch, and resides in Harlan Township; Mary is the wife of lsaac Hearn, of Wetmore, Kan; Elizabeth is the wife of Thomas Wheeler, of Jefferson Twp; Amanuel J. is the next younger; and Franklin Pierce. a widower, resides in Chadron, Neb. We now take up the personal history of our subject, who by the death of his father was left it the early age of eleven years to make his own way in the world. unaided by fortune or friends. He was obliged to work it whatever he found to do and was variously employed until 1866, when at the age of seventeen he went to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he engaged in railroading, working on construction and other lines for four years. He then returned to Buchanan Co, Iowa, determined to ----- an education. After two years spent in the Independence High School he entered Hopkinton College, and after one term in that institution became a student in Ames Agricultural College where he spent three years, teaching school at intervals to meet the necessary expenses. In 1875, he located in Harlan Twp, Fayette Co, where he purchased a farm, which he lived on for ten years. Only a portion of this time was actually devoted by to farm wrk, he being otherwise engaged, but he directed its management. He had determined to qualify himself for the legal profession and to that end studied as opportunity afforded. In Sept, 1882. he was admitted to the bar at West Union and entered upon the practice of his profession. On the 17th of October. 1883, Mr Anders and Miss Arvilla J Burch were married, the wedding being clebr·ted in Westfield Twp. The lady was born in Jefierson Twp, this county, October 20, 1857, and is a daughter ot Lewis M and Catherine (Johnson) Burch, who were among the earliest settlers of Jefferson Twp, having there located in 1851. Mr and Mrs Anders have only one child, a daughter, Alice J, born July 2, 1885. In his political aiiiliations our subject is a Democrat, and manifests an interest in the success of the party but has never sought public office. He was elected a member of the Oelwein School Boarrd and chosen its President during his absence from the city and is now filling the position. He does a general law and collection business, having a lucrative practice and is the owner of considerable real estate. He was one of the the proprietors of Martin's First Addition to Oelwein, of two blocks and twenty lots, which was platted after the St Paul and Kansas City Railroid was built to this place. He is also a half owner of the Union addition to Oelwein. consisting of three blocks and thirty-eight lots, and fourth owner in th Union Block, including the residence in the rear. The Union Block is a two-story brick structure, with a frontage on Charles St of seventy feet. He also owns his home in the city and a well-improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres, situated in Harlan Twp. By close application to business, promptness and fidelity to the interests of his clients, and the observance of correct business principles founded on integrity, Mr Anders has won success and a creditable place in the estimation of his fellow-citizens and all with whom he has had business relations.
