ALEXANDER H. ANDERSON, a native of this county, and son of Joseph F. 
Anderson, was born July 11, 1846.  His father, Joseph F., was a son of 
Josiah Anderson, who came to Christian County from Logan County, Ky. He 
settled in the northern part of the county, where Joseph F. was born, 
June 20, 1818.  Joseph was reared to the pursuit of farming, and early 
in life learned the trade of carpenter.  He was for some time 
Superintendent of the Christian County poor-farm.  He married Mary Coon, 
a native of this county, and a daughter of Benjamin and Polly Coon.  This 
wife died in Christian County, October 10, 1843, leaving one son, 
William H., who has since died.  Joseph F. next married Sarah A. Coon, a 
sister of his former wife, who still survives him and who bore him eight 
children, Alexander H. being the eldest.  Joseph F. Anderson became a 
member of the Third Kentucky Regiment, in which he served as a soldier 
through the late war.  He was present and took part in the battles of 
Shiloh, Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain, and was in the entire Atlanta 
campaign; he died October 19, 1869.  Alexander H. was reared and 
educated in Hopkinsville, and in early life learned the trade of house 
and sign painting, which he followed for about seven years.  In 1871 he 
became a partner with J. H. Tunks, in the grocery business, which 
association terminated three years later.  He is now connected in the 
same business with John B. Cheaney, and located on Virginia Street, 
between Court and Russellville Streets.  Mr. Anderson was elected to the 
office of Justice of the Peace in 1881, to fill an unexpired term, and 
was re-elected to the full term in August, 1882.  He is an honored 
member of the I. O. O. F.  He was married in Hopkinsville, Ky., February 
28, 1866, to Miss Laura Blythe, daughter of Harvey and Caroline Blythe 
(nee Clemens.)  Mrs. Anderson was born in 1846, and is a native of
