Georgetown Times February 2 1918
Capt Carl Anderson
Every one in Georgetown who was acquainted with Capt Carl Anderson was shocked to learn of his sudden death which occurred Thursday night at the home of Mrs RW Rouse where the old gentleman was a boarder Captain Anderson was apparently eating supper late in the afternoon he walked down the street and while near the city hall was attacked with an apoplectic stroke. He was at once taken to his room and medical assistance summoned but the end came in a short while in.
Capt Anderson came to Georgetown about ten years ago and has lived here constantly ever since. He attended the lights in Winyah Bay and was regarded as one of most faithful and trustworthy light keepers in this district. He was a native of Sweden but came to this country a number of years ago and was made an American citizen some twenty odd years ago. There was never any double as to the old gentleman's loyalty to this country. Efforts have been made are are still being made to locate some relative but up to the present time no trace of a living relative can be found. At the time of Capt Anderson's death he had purchased a Liberty Bond during the first sale and another one when the second issue was put on the market. He had also invested in War Saving Stamps. These facts alone go to prove that Capt Anderson was a splendid American citizen and believed in his adopted country.
The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Farrelly and the funeral services were held yesterday afternoon and the remains laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery. Peace to his ashes.
