County of Christian, Kentucky. Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., 1884, p. 341. 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 some time after his removal to Hopkinsville, in 1877. Notwithstanding 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.
