MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Walter W. Anderson, begs leave to submit the following memorial:

Walter W. Anderson was born January 7, 1872, in Jefferson, Iowa. He attended the high school in Jefferson and later took a business course in Des Moines.

In 1898 he moved to Scranton, where he was engaged in the banking business and in farming, and was president of the Bank of Scranton.

Mr. Anderson served in the House of Representatives during the sessions of the Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh General Assemblies and also served in the Senate during the sessions of the Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth General Assemblies.

He later returned to Jefferson and passed away on January 4, 1962. His wife, Mrs. Sadie Anderson, survives him.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixtieth General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of the Honorable Walter W. Anderson the state has lost an honored citizen and a faithful and useful servant, and the House by this resolution would express its appreciation of his service, and tender its sympathy to the members of his family.

Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
