Dr. Samuel Anderson was born in Deering, N. H., March 9, 1807, and died in Bath, Me., April 22, 1873. He was
the third of ten children of John and Nancy Anderson, of Deering, N. H. His ancestors came to New England from
Londonderry, in the north of of Ireland, in 1718. They were Scotch Presbyterians, driven from their homes by religious
persecution. The grandfather, named Samuel, was captain of one of the ships that brought over these Londonderry
immigrants, most of whom settled in New Hampshire and named their settlement "Londonderry," in memory
of their old home,
Doctor Anderson was married, November 20, 1829, to Katharine Emerson of Edgecomb, who descended from the Emersons
of Massachusetts. She was great granddaughter of the Rev. John Emerson, fourth parson of Topsfield. Doctor Anderson
came to Bath in 1834. A few years later he commenced the study and practice of medicine and subsequently opened
a drug store, where he continued in business the remainder of his life. He had five children, Edward Francis, Climena
Katharine, Samuel, Jr., Nancy Elizabeth, and Laura Ann. Samuel, Jr., was born in Bath, September 7, 1835. He entered
his father's drug store at the age of nineteen, was afterward received as partner, and has continued in the drug
business ever since. He married Almina Martha Norton, of Phillips, Me. Their children were Harry Warren and Herbert
Morrell. Harry Warren graduated at the College of Pharmacy in Philadelphia, in 1884, and has since been in the
drug business in Exeter, N. H.
