         ANDREW ANDERSON, proprietor of Bonnie View Farm, lying partly
       in Maxville  and partly in Nelson township, Buffalo county, is 
       an excellent type of the modern enterprising farmer. He was born 
       in section 30, Canton township, this county, June 5, 1870, son 
       of ANDREW and SARAH (BERSTED) ANDERSON. His education was acquired 
       in the district school and he remained on the parental homestead 
       until the age of 32 years, at which time he began an independent 
       career, buying an improved farm of 160 acres in Canton township, 
       which he operated for four or five years. He then sold the place 
       and bought his present farm, consisting of 80 acres in Maxville 
       and 174 acres in Nelson township, or 254 acres in all. There was 
       a brick veneer house on the place and an old barn. In place of the 
       latter he has since erected the largest barn in Buffalo county, 
       measuring 36 by 112 feet ground dimensions. It is provided with 
       cement floor and patent stanchions, the bull pens being of iron; 
       solid concrete mangers and feed litter-carrier; and iron calf pen. 
       The cream room is cement finished and measures 12 by 14 feet in-
       side. The horse barn is of double and single stalls, with room 
       for thirteen head of horses. Upstairs is a sixteen-foot hay mow 
       and a granary. The basement wall is built of cement blocks and 
       the building is not only the largest, but one of the best con-
       structed in the county. MR. ANDERSON has also built a corn crib, 
       16 by 32 feet in size, and a good chicken coop. His stock is all 
       of good grade and includes Durham and Shorthorn cattle and Poland-
       China hogs and Percheron horses. MR. ANDERSON married MATTIE 
       MICHAELSON, daughter of JOSEPh and CARRIE MICHAELSON, of Modena 
       township, Buffalo county. He and his wife have three children: 
       SYLVIA ALMINA, ALFRED JEFFERSON and CLIFFORD RAYMOND.
