            Gus. Anderson, a farmer of Yolo County, was born January 13, 1831, 
in Sweden, and sailed for New York in 1852.  He lived there until 1859, and then 
came across the plains and mountains to California, first locating in Butte 
County.  In the spring of 1860 he came into Yolo County, and was employed by the 
man who owned the place which he, Mr. Anderson, now occupies.  He purchased it 
in 1864, - 160 acres of good land.
            March 2, 1873, at Mr. Wolfram�s place near Black�s, Mr. Anderson 
married Miss Mary Bopp, a native of Switzerland, and they have a family of five 
children:  George, Oscar, Andrew, John and Anna.  Mr. Anderson is an industrious 
citizen, as nearly all Swedes are.
