72nd Wedding Anniversary: The Manti Messenger, 14 DEC 1967Mr. and Mrs. Lewis R. Anderson quietly celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary December 11, 1967. They started the day at 5 a.m., their usual time, "in order to get their work done." The occasion was unanounced, but members of the family and others, including Bishop J. Wallace Wintch, called.
Although Mr. Anderson's eyesight is dimmed, his mind is clear. He wishes he could take a "more active part in the great things that are being accomplished in the world." He will be 96 in March.
At 94, Mrs. Anderson has good eyesight and reads to Mr. Anderson every day from the scriptures, newspapers, late books, magazines. Along with the radio, they keep well posted. She writes many letters often to people in the hospital.
On December 11, 1895, they went by horse and new buggy to the Manti Temple to be married. That evening there was a wedding supper and a program at the home of her parents, now 502 South Main Street. They said "it was a good day." He was employed to run the Central Utah Wool Company (the warehouse still stands) at $75.oo per month and she had been a school teacher at $25.00 per month. He had taken a bookkeeping course at the BYU.
Less than a month after their marriage Utah became a state. Mr. Anderson was soon appointed chairman of the Seep Commission by the new governor, Heber M. Wells. And until he was 70, he held some part-time appointive position by every governor, the last one being a member of the state land board, appointed by Governor Blood. He was a member of the University of Utah Regents along with President David O. McKay, appointed by Governor Mabey.
During World War I, he was named as food administrator for Sanpete County at $1.00 per year by Governor Simon Bamberger. He served a term as speaker of the Utah House of Representatives and was in that capacity when the state capital was built. He was elected as the youngest mayor in Utah on a flood contril platform and served three terms in the City of Manti. He was appointed by the Republican Nationa Convention as one of the committee to officially notify Calvin Coolidge that he had been nominated to run as vice president of the United States.
After 70, he became president of the Manti Temple and she became matron. This was among their choicest experiences. They have a great appreciation for those with whom they worked and associated there during the 16 years they presided.
At age five he was on Temple Hill when it was dedicated in 1877, but does not remember Brigham Young. His father, Lewis Anderson moved to Manti to be the first bookkeeper at the time of the buidling of the temple and later became president for about 28 years.
Mr. Anderson was president of South Sanpete Stake for over 15 years and was president of the board of trustees of Snow College when it was a church school. He spent one legislative session lobbying successfully to have the state take Snow College over.
Mrs. Anderson has held many positions in the Relief Society.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson belong to early pioneer families. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James P. Brown, were among the very first settlers in Manti in November 1849. Her mother, Eunice, has the distinction of being the first Manti child born in a house with a board floor. The Brown's had come from Nauvoo with the Mormon Battallion to Santa Fe and then to Pueblo, Colorado where they built houses for the winter of 1846 and arrived in Salt Lake Valley in 1847 just six days behind Brigham Young. After 10 years in Manti, where he was on the first city council, he was called to go to St. George.
Children of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are: Mrs. Clark (Lucile) Keller, R. Clair, Mrs. Waldo (Eunice) Garbe, L. Glen, Elliott M., all of Manti, and Mrs. J. Earl (Mary) Sorenson of Redmond. There are 14 living grandchildren and 48 living great-grandchildren.

Observes 100th Birthday
Clara Maria Munk Anderson quietly celebrated her 100th birthday Tuesday, September 4, 1973 at her home. Many friends and relatives called to wish her well.
To bee 100 years old, however does bring som changes. She said, "I don't look like I used to, and I can't do good like I used to."
Clara was born September 4, 1873 to Eunice Ann and Peter Munk at Manti. She learned responsilility very young. When she was one and one half years old her mother became ill and was bedfast for 9 1/2 years.
Wood was used entirely for fuel. She remembers one of her first duties was to bring in the night's supply of wood. She tended the chickens, took care of the neighbor's children for 10 cents a day, and would drive the cows every morning.
Drinking water was dipped from the irrigation ditch and one day Clara was delighted to find a mountain trout in her bucket. Clothes were scrubbed on washboards, with home-made soap perfuned with burgamont. Clara would take a bucket of eggs to the store and get a can of coal-oil, trim the lamp wich and shine the glass chimney. This was one of her duties to get ready for Sunday.
She stood on a chair to clean the churn, scour knives and forks and the brass milk kettle. She learned how to make salt-rising bread. By the time she was seven years old she was knitting and darning for the family.
Her father had two oxen, Bill and Ball. She would stand on the fence and paint their horns. This made them easy to find.
Clara went to the molasses mill to get skimmings. She got pure molasses because she always said, "Thank-you."
She dried apples, sewed carpet rags, stuffed straw-ticks and feather beds, and crocheted.
When she was young, books were scarce. One summer she and her sisters, Minerva and May, repaired books from the Sunday School library. They took turns fixing and reading and in this way read many of the classics.
Clara was a school teacher.
After six years of courtship, she married Lewis Robert Anderson, December 11, 1895. They journeyed to the Manti LDS Temple in a horse and buggy. They set up housekeeping the year Utah became a state in 1896. Lewis Robert died October 19, 1968.
Clara was active in church and civic affairs. She loved to fish and spent many summers at Fish Lake.
She was a Manti LDS Temple matron for 16 years. She entertained may church authorities.
When Clara was a girl, Manti had no electric lights, no telephones, no radio, no TV, no furnace heated houses, no automoblies, no jets, no garages or oil stations, no power washers, no laundromats, no electric flatirons, no movies, no modern courthouse, no library, no sidewalks, (the sagebrush) was too high to see a cow), no pavements, no flood control dams, no hatcheries, no manufacturing plants, one school building, no ready-to-wear, no nylons, no lipstick, no false eyelashes or wigs, no beatury shops, no tranquilizers. In her day it was petticoats, woolen stockings and red flannels.
Clara had seven children: Eva, deceased, R. Clair, deceased, L. Glen, Lucile Keller, Eunice Garge, Mary Sorenson and Elliott. She has one brother, William Munk, living in Centerfield.
She loves her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She appreciates her kind neighbors. Clara is thankful for the many remembrances sent to her.
