Carl Axel Anderson, son of August and Alta (Cannon) Anderson, was born July 25, 1921 in Siam Township in Taylor County, Iowa. Carl attended school at Bedford. He entered the United States Army and served in the South Pacific and spent three years in combat zones in New Guinea, the Philippines and then with the Occupation Army of Japan at the end of World War II.
Carl was united in marriage with Lois Kimpton on September 28, 1940 in Chillicothe, Missouri. He worked as the Meat Manager for United Food Stores and later the Assistant Manager at the Fareway Meat Department. Carl also helped his son Glen farm. He loved farming, especially working with the cattle and the John Deere farm equipment. While on the farm, he enjoyed riding the 4-wheeler and spending time with the coon hounds. Carl was a 60-year member of the Winterset American Legion and VFW; he was also a member of Farm Bureau and the Heritage Club. Carl loved to go flying with Glen and Linda and see Madison County from above. He was known for sitting outside his garage on South 8th Avenue and waving at the passing traffic. Carl enjoyed watching The Price is Right and writing his guesses in a notebook to see how close he was. Above all else, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who cherished the time he was able to spend with his family, especially his beloved grandchildren and great grandchildren.
