Marvin L. Anderson

Marvin L. Anderson was born June 22, 1924, to Martin and Clara Hansen Anderson in Albert Lea. He was very proud that he lived on the farm that had been in his family's name since 1878. Marvin attended district #138 and Albert Lea High School. He began farming at age 17 and worked in the fields until last year when his health prevented him from continuing. In his younger years, Marvin helped many of his relatives and neighbors with their fieldwork. He was treasurer of the London Cemetery from 1962 - 1988 and also the treasurer of the local Ditch Board for many years. Marvin married Ila Wahlers on December 12, 1956, in Austin. He was a loving and dedicated husband, dad, and grandpa. Marvin was always concerned about his family. Survivors include his wife, Ila Anderson; son, Richard Anderson of Glenville; daughters, Shirley Fingerson and her husband Steve of Rochester and Donna Naylor and her husband Roe of Brownsdale; granddaughter, Stephanie Fingerson; step grandchildren, Nichole Kielb and her daughter, Anne-Marie and Zachary Naylor; sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Joan Juhnke and her husband Robert and Myron Ruffridge; and an aunt, niece, nephews, and cousins.
