→Two different people
:OK. The election was close and went to court and Anderson was named mayor by the court in March 1896. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 00:11, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
==Two different people==
The more I read, the more I am thinking that W. E. Anderson was two different people, a Warren and a William. When I get some time I will try to compile all of this stuff to make the case. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 18:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
:OK... the obit in the ''Evening News'' doesn't mention any mayoral service but the obit in the ''Journal'' says "...and vice-president of the board of commissioners of the city 1893-1895, and during that time acted in the capacity of ex officio mayor." So I guess that settles any doubts I had. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 12:43, 15 September 2009 (CDT)
