WALTER F. ANDERSON Walter F. Anderson, an energetic agriculturist of modern tendencies and one of the younger leaders of the Republican party in Washington township, was born in Miami county, February 17, 1886, a son of Charles and Ella (Blood) Anderson. Charles Anderson was a lifelong farmer in Washington township, where he owned and operated the property now occupied by his son, until 1914, in which year he went into retirement. He is now living at Piqua, where he has numerous friends and is held in high esteem, his declining years being passed in the enjoyment of the rewards which come as a result of a life of industry and honorable endeavor. He and his estimable wife, now deceased, are the parents of three children: Walter F., Mrs. Fred Black and Mrs. Howard Kirby. Mrs. Charles Anderson passed away August 12, 1920. Walter F. Anderson received his education in the public schools of Miami county, and after his graduation from the high school at Piqua began farming in association with his father. When the elder man retired, in 1914, he took over the management of the property, which he has since handled in an entirely capable manner. He has shown a marked interest in public affairs and has been active in the ranks of the Republican party in Washington township, where he wields no little influence. As a progressive and public-spirited citizen he has contributed his full share to the support of movements making for the welfare and betterment of his community. September 2, 1914, Mr. Anderson married Miss Edna Veith, a daughter of Jacob and Minnie (Werpup) Veith, of Piqua, and they have two children: Richard and Edna.
