Jacob Anderson, a farmer near Carthage, Campbell County, Ky. was born on the farm where he now lives, June 5, 1827. His parents were John and Elizabeth (Carmack) Anderson, the former coming to Ky. from Va. with his parents when he was but nine years of age, The Carmacks originally came from Scotland. Jacob is one of a family of ten children, only three of whom are now living. George lives in Campbell County, Ky. He is nearly eighty years of age and is almost blind. America, now Mrs. Wesley White, lives near Carthage.
Mr. Anderson's opportunities to acquire an education were extremely limited. In his boyhood, he attended private or "subscription" schools for a few months and this constituted his schooling. This he has supplemented by reading until he is one of the best informed men in his neighborhood. He is particularly fond of reading the Scriptures and few men know more of the Book of Life than he. His farm, which consists of about 100 acres, is directly opposite New Richmond, Ohio. From a point near the house one can see up the beautiful Ohio for fifteen miles, and down the river for about ten miles, while opposite the city of New Richmond, with its surrounding hills, forms a gorgeous panorama. The farm is also widely known for a fine spring of water. This Mr. Anderson has utilized for keeping milk and butter, dairy products being the principal output of the farm. Along the side of the farm next to the Ohio River, runs the Chesapeake and Ohio railway.
Before the war Mr. Anderson was a Whig. Since then he has been a Democrat, though he takes no active part in politics. On July 4 1848, he was married to Mary Hester White, daughter of James and Margaret (Dicken) White, both of whom were natives of Campbell County. Mrs. Anderson's mother was a distant relative of Charles Dickens, the celebrated English novelist, though for some reason the American branch of the family dropped the final letter of the name.
Mrs. Anderson was born at Alexandria, Ky. May 25, 1830, and received her education in the schools of her native town. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are the parents of eight children, viz.: John, died at the age of 18 mo.; Martha, married Robert Mell and died at the age of 26 years. A daughter of this marriage, Miss Birdie Mell, a bright and amiable young lady, now lives with her grandparents. Joseph Wesley, now a farmer living near Winnebago City, Minn.; Millard Fillmore, who died near New Richmond, Ohio in 1902; Margaret Lizzie, now Mrs. Zeno Barker, living near Carthage; Mary Jessie, now Mrs. William Madden, of Mount Washington, Ohio; Jacob a farmer near Carthage; and Esther Holmes, wife of Thornton Painter, a farmer near Carthage.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are both members of the Baptist
Church and are firm believers in the faith of that denomination. They
practice the teachings of their religion, are charitable to the unfortunate and
their home is one of the most hospitable in Campbell County.
