Thomas H. Anderson, Attorney-at-Law, was born in Sewellsville, Belmont county, Ohio, June 6th, 1847. His father was a native of Pennsylvania and his mother of Ohio. He attended the Belmont and Guernsey county schools until 1865, when he entered Mount Union College, in the same State. His application, and the possession of apt talent for study, secured to him while a student in this college a thorough English education, and gave him an excellent foundation upon which to build his reputation in coming years as an attorney. After leaving college he taught school for two years in the counties in which he had before studied, concluding his labors as teacher in the High School department of the Cambridge Union Schools. On the 22d day of June, 1869, he became a student at law in the office of Colonel J. D. Taylor, of Cambridge, Ohio, under whose directions he pursued his reading with intelligent application for two years; and on the 12th day of June, 1871, was admitted to the bar at Mount Vernon, Ohio, and on the 22d day of the same month entered into partnership with his former legal preceptor, Colonel Taylor, and ever since has been engaged in practice with him. Mr. Anderson is a young man of more than usual talent in the profession he has chosen, and has already secured by his learning, skill and care in his profession, a large and lucrative practice, and an enviable reputation as an attorney. He is a gentleman of cultivated tastes, and continues to study with zeal the science of law in all its manifold branches; he is universally esteemed, and is a gentleman of integrity and excellent moral character.
