ENOCH E. ANDERSON has achieved a good success in Wasco county and is to he
numbered among its prosperous and enterprising agriculturists at this day. He
was horn in Sweden, on January 3, 1866, the son of Carl E. and Katrina (Broman)
Anderson, both natives of Sweden. The father was a graduate of a prominent
Stockholm college and devoted his life to preaching the gospel in the Lutheran
church. He was a powerful preacher and held some of the best churches in the
kingdom. For some years he also preached in Christiana. His home place adjoined
a village and there our subject studied as well as in other places where the
family lived during the father's life work. The elder Anderson was a great
worker for education and used to give much of the fruit of his farm for presents
to the young for incentive to better study. He died in Sweden in 1894. The
mother still lives there. She was a faithful helpmeet to her husband in his work
and for years was an active Sunday school worker and teacher. About 1884, Enoch
E. came to the United States and for two years wrought in Nebraska. Then he
spent six years in California in railroad work, and after that came to Coos bay.
Oregon, and there and in various other places west of the mountains, he wrought
for a number of years, and finally came to this county. He worked for one year
for Mr. Callaghan and then he took a homestead which he later sold. In 1901, Mr.
Anderson bought the place where he now resides, and since that time he has
continued here in the cultivation and improvement of it. The estate consists of
four hundred acres, three-fourths of which are tillable. It is one of the best
medium sized farms in the county and is being brought to a high state of
cultivation by the care and skill of Mr. Anderson.      

At The Dalles, in 1891, Mr. Anderson married Miss Julia Ryan. She was born in
California, and her parents, Thomas F. and Catherine (Morrissey) Ryan, who are
natives of Ireland, are mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Mr. Anderson has one
brother, Carl, and two sisters, Lydia Johnson and Elizabeth Lundquist. To our
subject and his wife five children have been born, Carl. Gust P., Kate, Lucille,
and Selma. Mr. Anderson is a member of the W.W., and in politics is a strong
Republican. He is a member of the Lutheran church and his wife belongs to the
Roman Catholic church. They are good substantial people and have made a good
record.
