STUART M. ANDERSON.

STUART M. ANDERSON.
Various business interests are profiting by the cooperation, sound judgment and keen discernment of Stuart M. Anderson, of Glenrock, who is the vice president of the Glenrock Sheep Company, vice president of the Higgins Sheep Company and a director of the Glen Rock State Bank. He is also the president of the Glenrock Building & Loan Association and, moreover, he is a prominent figure in the public life of the community, serving at the present writing as mayor of the town and is one of its most progressive and honored citizens. He was born in Lexington, Virginia, June 23, 1867, and was educated in the common schools of that locality until he reached his seventeenth year. In 1884 he left the parental roof and came to the west, settling first in Ringgold county, Iowa, where he spent four years. In 1888 he made his way to western Nebraska, where he took up a homestead, upon which he remained for four or five years when he was driven from that section of the country by drought and gave his homestead away. He considers that period of his life totally wasted. In 1893 he arrived in Wyoming, settling on Deer creek, in Converse county. His five years' experience in Nebraska brought him to Wyoming without funds and here he went to work in a sawmill. He continued to work for wages until 1898, when he enlisted in the service of his country in connection with the Spanish-American war and was assigned to Colonel Torrey's Regiment of Rough Riders. After his return home in the spring of 1899 he engaged in the sheep business, with which he has since been prominently identified. He was one of the organizers of the Higgins Sheep Company, Inc., and later he bought in to the Glenrock Sheep Company, which in recent years has sold its sheep and is now running cattle. They have also developed valuable oil wells on their property and their business interests are of a most important character contributing to the continued development and commercial progress of this section of the state. In Norfolk, Virginia, in 19o7, Mr. Anderson was married to Miss Cora Lee Brown and they have become the parents of three children, Henry S., William L. and Jim. In politics Mr. Anderson is a democrat but has never been an office seeker, preferring to concentrate his time and energies upon his business affairs, which have been wisely directed and represent judicious investment and careful management. He and his wife are members of the Presbyterian church and are held in high esteem by all who know them, having an extensive circle of warm friends in this part of Wyoming.
