From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Anderson (October 18, 1870 – March 16, 1931)[1] was a justice of the South Dakota Supreme Court from December 1, 1921 to 1925.[2]

Born in Minnesota, Anderson was a state attorney in Webster, South Dakota, for several years, later becoming a state circuit court judge for three years before being appointed to the state supreme court in 1921,[1] by Governor William H. McMaster. He retired due to poor health, and moved to Davenport, Iowa, several years thereafter.[1]

On November 8, 1899, Anderson married Sophie Knudson in Davis, Illinois. He died in his home in Davenport at the age of 60.[1]
