N. & MRS. N. ANDERSON


Nathan Anderson Residence
Marathon, Clermont Co., OH

NATHAN ANDERSON. The Anderson family is of English extraction, and came to America in the seventeenth century, and of the branch that finally settled in New Jersey was Samuel Anderson, born in that State in 1714.  He was the father of Samuel, who had a son, Peter Anderson, born Oct. 10, 1792, in Hunterdon Co., N. J.  Peter Anderson came to Ohio in 1814, and located in Clermont County, in Miami township.  In 1817 he was married to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Nathan Hatfield, of Hamilton County, who in the war of1812 commanded a rifle company and participated in the siege of Fort Meigs.  Peter Anderson still lives, at the advanced age of eighty-eight years, on his farm in Stonelick township.  Nathan Anderson, son of Peter and Elizabeth (Hatfield) Anderson, was born in Miami township of this county, Mar. 19, 1824.  He received the usual district school education common to the youth of his day, and at ten years of age went into his father's store at New Boston as a clerk, and there remained until his twenty-fifth year.  In the year 1852 he went to California by the way of New Orleans and the Isthmus of Panama. He remained in the Golden State four years, part of that time working in the mines; but in the session of 1854-55 of the California Legislature he was clerk of the House of Representatives.  After his return to Ohio he located in Jackson township where he has since resided, engaged in agricultural pursuits.  On June 16, 1862, he was married by Rev. Joseph D. Hatfield to Permelia Eliza Abernethy, daughter of Thomas W. and Harriet (Hutchinson) Abernethy.  Thomas W. Abernethy was born Mar. 14, 1808, in Hampshire Co., Va., and came to this county in 1829, and in the year 1832 (April 12th) was married by Rev. Burroughs Westlake to Harriet Hutchinson.  She was born in this county July 16, 1816, and was the daughter of Aaron Hutchinson, Sr., an early pioneer and emigrant from New Jersey.  Nathan Anderson joined the Masonic order in 1848, taking the symbolical degrees in Clermont Social Lodge, No. 29, at Williamsburgh, and in 1852 he received the capitular degrees of Mark, Past, and Most Excellent Master and Royal Arch Mason in Milford Chapter.  He has served many years as township treasurer, and being a Democrat in politics, is very active in political campaigns and prominent in the counsels of his party, to which he and his venerable father have long been devotedly attached.  His find homestead adjoins the town of Marathon, lying on the Milford and Chillicothe turnpike, and his farm is situated in both Brown and Clermont Counties.  Peter Anderson served with acceptance to the public for seven years as county commissioner, and his son, Nathan Anderson, possesses in an eminent degree the leading characteristics that distinguished his father.  He is an honest, prompt business man of inflexible integrity, and his affable manners and genial ways have made him popular and esteemed by the whole community.  Comfortably situated in their beautiful home, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Anderson - the latter an estimable lady, noted for her domestic graces and hospitality - take great interest in all public improvements and in all movements for the benefit of society.
