  "Queer Pair of Calves. Joshua Patty has a curiosity out at his farm on Cane Creek, ten miles west of town, says the Poplar Bluff (Mo.) Citizen. It is a pair of twin calves which are slightly on the Siamese twins order. They are not handsome, but they are a little out of the usual line of bossy calves. From the brisket down half the length of their bodies the calves are one, their entire breasts being united solidly, the two bodies forming one well-rounded trunk. In order to travel they will have to stand on their hind legs and hitch along sideways as each will be in the other?s way to move forward. If they can balance nicely on their hind legs one might back up while the other moves forward. The animals are very well matched, are perfectly developed in every other way, and are a curiosity which has attracted hundreds of people to the Patty farm to witness."

  Biography of Alice's husband, Arthur W. Anderson, 1929

  "ARTHUR W. ANDERSON. On November 16, 1928, Oklahoma, forty-sixth State of the Union, became twenty-one years of age, the Congressional Act enabling it to become a State having been passed in 1906. But a score and more years prior to 1906 the pioneers were laying down the groundwork for this great State; and governmental action came merely as an official sanction of what, in great degree, already had been accomplished. The birth of Oklahoma rightly was even before 1889. Among the men who have grown up with the commonwealth none is worthier of record than Arthur W. Anderson, of Woodward, who came to the Cherokee Strip when sixteen years of age, and who has built his career in finance and citizenship around the progress of Woodward and its environs. Financier and citizen of dominant position, he is likewise a member of the bar, and has practiced the law continuously since commencement of residence in Woodward and admission to the bar, or through a period exceeding twenty-five years. He is today one of the foremost figures, as barrister, business man and public figure, in this part of the State, known widely in the Great Southwest. His record is of interest. Born at Wall Lake, Iowa, August 7, 1877, Arthur W. Anderson is a son of Oliver A. and Christina Anderson, both of whom were born in Sweden. His parents came to the United States in 1865, first located in Chicago, Illinois, later removed to Iowa, and in 1893 came to Oklahoma, filing on land in the Cherokee Strip, where the elder Mr. Anderson undertook farming, with prosperity. He is now engaged in ranching, near Canadian, Texas. Oliver A. and Christina Anderson had children: 1. Alexander B., of Wynoka, Oklahoma. 2. Ella, wife of F. G. James, of DeWitt, Oklahoma. 3. Arthur W., with whom we are concerned here. 4. Hortense, wife of George Patteson, of Wichita, Kansas. 5. Reuben F., county attorney, with offices at American Falls, Idaho. 6. Rex, deceased. 7. Richard A., of Little Rock, Arkansas, a road contractor. Arthur W. Anderson attended the public schools, matriculated in the Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Stillwater, Oklahoma, and from its legal department took the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1900. Admitted to the bar two years thereafter, he has practiced in Woodward continuously through the years succeeding to the present time, now being a leading figure in the bar and having held the local office of city attorney. In 1919, he was an organizer of the Woodward Building and Loan Association, of which he is secretary and manager. Since 1908 he has been a director of the Woodward Chamber of Commerce, in this connection accomplishing much of permanent benefit to city, county and State. For ten years he has served on the library board, and since 1913 has engaged in banking. A Republican, he is a close adherent to the principles of the party, and an influence in its workings in Woodward. Fraternally, he is affiliated with three important orders-the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and Ancient Order of United Workmen, in the last of which he holds the Degree of Honor. He is a communicant of the Methodist Episcopal church. Gifted and trained in the law, both in theory and practice through many years, financier whose ability has proven of sound worth to the Woodward Building and Loan Association, and banker whose reputation is wide, Mr. Anderson complements these directions of energy with the addition of works of citizenship large in scope. He writes interestingly, in editorial manner, and his writings have appeared in various publications of city, State and national circulation. He is alive to the needs of Oklahoma, and his mind and pen are quick to point the way toward advancement. One of his articles, "Taxation in Oklahoma," analyzed the State tax situation, showing the trends and necessity for remedial measures. This first appeared in the "Employer," July, 1928, and afterward was reprinted in folio for specialized circulation. Another writing, called "The Upward Trend of Taxation," appeared in the "American Building Association News," of national distribution, published at Cincinnati, Ohio. Still another piece, entitled, "Oklahoma: The Agricultural Empire of Tomorrow," first appeared in the Harper County "Journal," April 26, 1928, and was reprinted for more general circulation. Still another, appearing in the aforementioned Cincinnati publication, was, "The Need of National Advertising." In the third article mentioned, Mr. Anderson wrote in part: After the good Lord had made forty-five other States. He looked them all over carefully and decided that He could do better yet. He decided to put forth one supreme effort and make one State which would combine the virtues and advantage of all the rest. ?And then in the very heart of the United States, He built the forty-sixth State out of the very best of everything he could find, and He named it Oklahoma. He has a style of writing at once serious, practical, filled with a vision of the future, and with entertaining comment, and not a little humor. Thus, the points which he cares to make are driven home the more forcefully. Mr. Anderson married, June 12, 1912, Alice Patty."
