Can anyone send me any family history type information about my grandfather's family.
His name was Alfred A. Anderson.
My mother was Rose M. Anderson (McClure)
I know that the family moved from Minnesota in about 1906.
He owned: the Carson Hotel (dates unknown)
the General Store during Prohibition
He was postmaster (dates unknown)
Also my mother taught in a one room school house in the area in the 1920's I think. Any information about the school would be appreciated.
I was told by someone that the name of Carson was made up of parts of the names CARter and anderSON. Can anyone verify that?

TIA
