- 9b BERNHARD OLAI ANDERSON (known as BEN ANDERSON), b. March 23, 1878, at Caledonia, Minn. He studied watchmaking and engraving ar Winona and wenr into business, in 1898, at Kindred, N. D. Two years later there was a big fire in Kindred, and while helping others to save their merchandise Ben neglected his own place until it was too late; however, he managed to throw some silverware and tools into a baby carriage and wheel it out just before the building collapsed. After that he occupied space in a restautant until he could move into a new building, called the Merger block, in which "Willie" Reque, (4d), too, had quarters for his dentist office. Ben was instrumental in incorporating the village of Kindred and became its first secretary. On June 24, 1903, he married Berthe Marie Kjos, who was born March 6, 1878, at Fargo, Dakota Territory. In 1905 Ben built a store of his own, with living quarters upstairs, where he continued his jewelry, silverware, watch repairing, and confectionery business; and in 1925 he provided a beautiful new home fot his wife and children: George (9bl), Arthur (9b2), Katherine (9b3), and Albert (9b4). On May 21, 1935, he died suddenly while closing up the store. Being left a widow and alone, Marie sold the property, and she now lives at 712 Hobart boulevard north, Los Angeles, 29, Calif. [1]
