R. J. Anderson and Nellie Irish Wedding Picture

RJ left Canada and traveled to Mobile, Iowa to buy livestock. While he was choosing livestock he saw Nellie across the street and it was love a first sight. She was 15 and he was 35, and he never went back to Canada.

Homestead (160 acers) farmed and tended livestock, RJ stayed around the barn - so as not to be far away from wife.  


---Notes by Margaret Yule Wittmeyer


--This history of Robert Jacques was found in the papers of Alice Christina Wood Riggs

Robert Jacques Anderson born July 2, 1855, in New Lowell, Ontario, Canada.  Oldest of family, born soon after parents arrived in Canada from Scotland.  His father died when he was eleven years old.  He left home early and worked in the large timber woods.  He became a foreman.  He later went to Duluth, Minnesota and sailed on the Great Lakes five years.  He worked for Randell's in Duluth.  On his way to Oregon, he stopped in Sioux City, Iowa.  He was induced to look at land near Sioux City.  He went to Moville and bought 160 acres, four miles east of Moville, for $400.00  His land adjoined the land of Manley Irish.  He met Nellie Irish and they were married on January 4, 1888.  They were the parents of eight children.


They lived on the farm until March, 1912, when they moved to Moville.  R.J. was County Supervisor for twelve years.  He died Dec. 28, 1934 at the age of 79.  Nellie Irish Anderson lived on in the home until nearly eight-four years of age.  She was unable to live alone longer, she went to live with daughter Addie and husband, Henry Wood.  She had a kidney removed because of cancer.  She died on August 28, 1956.  Both R.J. and Nellie are buried in Arlington cemetery at Moville.  Baby Robert and Baby Mary are buried at Rock Branch Cemetery.

"Nellie Irish was born in Iowa. She came across the state in a covered wagon when just a baby to settle. New in a small down called Mobile, Iowa. The Family home still dominates the town. By the time Nellie was 15, she was teaching school in the one room school house. Nellie was a very striking beauty with long auburn hair and flashing blue eyes and a very light lovely complexion, which certainly demonstrated her total Scottish ancestry. A predominant name in the family - McKay ..." 

---Notes by Margaret Yule Wittmeyer

**Further research suggests that Nellie was actually of an English background and the name McKay does not appear in her family lines. The name does appear in the YULE family tree. The family was from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
