        CLARENCE ANDERSON, one of the first photographic artists in the
     State of Kentucky, is the second of three children born to the Rev.
     HENRY T. ANDERSON and JANE (BUCKNER) ANDERSON.  [for sketch of Rev.
     HENRY ANDERSON, see the history of the Hopkinsville Christian Church.]
     He was born in Caroline County, Va., in 1835.  He received a fair
     education largely under the care and teaching of his father.  He
     began in early life as a druggist's clerk, and in this capacity
     worked for some years in the cities of Louisville and Chicago.  In
     1860 he established himself in the drug business in Harrodsburg, Ky.,
     where he continued to conduct that line of merchandise until closing
     out sometime after his removal to Hopkinsville, in 1877.  Notwith-
     standing the fact that he has devoted twenty years to the drug trade,
     he has taken rank with the best photographers in the State, and is
     now devoting his attention to that business, with marked ability.
     He was married in 1862, in Harrodsburg, Ky., to Miss MARY, daughter
     of Dr. C. H. SPILMAN, of that place.  She was born in Jessamine
     County, Ky., in 1842. Both are honored members of the church and
     highly esteemed by a large circle of friends.  Their children, six
     in number, are CHARLES H., CLARENCE, Jr., ALYETT B., GENEVIEVE,
     TRABUE and MARY STILMAN ANDERSON.
