Albert Maurice
Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Anderson, was born
August 26, 1915 at Maple Plain, Minn., and baptized Oct. 7, of the same
year. He moved to Shell Lake, Wis., March 2, 1917; graduated from

months and 26 days. (Cause of deathwas a fatal injury caused by a
tractor running over his body while he was engaged in picking rocks
from a field. The tractor, driven by Walter Skriver, was doing
some new breaking on the Anderson farm and he had been watching the
plows when the fatal accident happened and did not see the young man in
the path of the tractor. It is believed that Maurice had
collapsed while working there and had fallen down in the furrow, either
by heat prostration or an attack of some kind which thrust his
prostrate body in front of the passing tractor.)
