Looking for any information on Lewis C Anderson. born 2-16-1882 and died 8/1967 in Adrian, Nobles.MN.

There was no obituary for Lewis C. Anderson
in the "Nobles County Review," weekly newspaper
in Adrian, Nobles County, MN.

This is what I have found to date:

Lewis C. Anderson is buried in the Adrian
City Cemetery, along with his wife, Grace
DeNeui Sell Anderson.

Death date listed for Lewis C. Anderson is
August 3, 1967.

Grace Anderson's death date is not complete
in the records I have. Died July 1, 19??.

Grace's first husband was Frank Sell, who
died at the age of 58, March 4, 1952.

All three are buried in the FRANK SELL lots:
Block 41, Lot 2.

Grace and Frank Sell had no children. Frank
was a local insurance agent. He was also a
County Commissioner, and [the local] State
Senator.

I have nothing else on Lewis C. Anderson. If
there are any other names you would like me to
look up, please let me know.
