Harrison, Arkansas
Nathan and Mary Anderson's son, Hilbart Alexander Anderson was born 14 April 1883 in Harrison, Boone county, Arkansas.
~ ca 1883 to 1884
Nathan S. Anderson was probably accepted and initiated in the Masonic lodge in Harrison, Arkansas. He met Dr. Leonidas Kirby who was the doctor in Harrison and one of the officers at the Masonic lodge.
From the book, Historical Review of Arkansas: Its Commerce, Industry and Modern Affairs, Volume 3, by Fay Hempstead, 1911:
Page 1600
"Dr. Kirby, even were it not for his professional attainments, would be known over a large area, for he is one of the most prominent of Arkansas Masons. He has numerous honors, having been Deputy Grand Commander of the state of Arkansas, 1896-1897, and is past high priest, past master, and past thrice I master. He has large property interests in Harrison, and as a builder has aided in the substantial improvement and development of the city. The doctor is strictly temperate, is classed as an independent Republican, and is a member of the Christian church."
From the newspaper, Harrison Daily Times, Tuesday, 16 October 1973:
"Boone Lodge No. 314 Free and Accepted Masons was organized under dispensation about the fall of 1872. On October 14, 1873, the Most Worshipful Grafd Lodge of Arkansas granted a Charter to Boone Lodge 314 to hold a lodge in Harrison, Arkansas"
"The records of our lodge were destroyed a first time by fire in 1882 and then a second time in 1898. This coupled with a fire at the Arkansas Grand Lodge in 1919 has eradicated detailed data of Boone Lodge prior to that time. What we do know about the early history is largely due to an astute leader of men and Masons, Leonidus Kirby, a Grand Master and member of our lodge, who penned an account as best he could in 1913."
From the book, Centennial History of Arkansas, Volume 3, by Dallas Tabor Herndon:
Page 485
(about Dr. Leonidas Kirby)
"Fraternally he is well known as a York Rite Mason and member of the Mystic Shrine, has served as master of Boone Lodge, No. 314; as high priest of Harrison Chapter, No. 85; as eminent commander of St. Aldemar Commandery, No. 10; thrice imperial master of Haggai Council, No. 41; as deputy grand commander of the state; and grand master of F. & A. M., 1921 and 1922. In professional, fraternal and social circles his reputation is an enviable one, for his life has been actuated by high principles in every relation."
~ 1884
Nathan and Mary had a son, Leonidas Kirby Anderson, born 19 August 1884 in Arkansas.
He was named after the Dr. Leonidas Kirby, who was the family doctor, the Masonic associate and a family friend.
~ c. 1884-1886
The Anderson family moved from Arkansas to Texas.

Kerens, Texas
Nathan S. Anderson of Kerens, Navarro county, Texas filed an invention on 16 July 1901 with the U.S. Patent Office, and it was granted a patent number 15 October 1901.
It was for a Hub Attaching Device.
From Google Patents:
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
NATHAN S. ANDERSON, OF KERENS, TEXAS.
HUB-ATTACHING DEVICE.
- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 684,664, dated October 15, 1901.
Application filed July 16, 1901.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, NATHAN S. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kerens, in the county of Navarro and State of Texas, have invented a certain new and useful Hub-Attaching Device, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to hub-attaching de vices, the object in View being to provide a simple, cheap, and reliable retaining device for holding vehicle-wheel hubs in place upon their axles or spindles, doing away with the usual threaded nut and entirely overcoming the liability of such nut or retaining device working loose.
The primary object of the invention is to do away with screw-threads and at the same time produce a retaining device which is capable of being easily and quickly applied to an axle-spindle and as easily removed whenever it becomes necessary to detach a wheel.
Another object of the invention is to overcome any liability of the retaining device becoming dislodged by accident or in ordinary handling.
With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will appear more fully as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, illustrated, and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a wheel-hub, showing the same mounted upon a spindle and held in place by means of the hub-attaching device forming the subject-matter of this invention. Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of the hub-attaching device, illustrating the elliptical or flattened shape of the springring. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the same. Fig. 4. is a detail perspective view of the lower segment of the device, showing the spring-ring thrown downward. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the Wrench or spanner for placing and displacing the spring-ring.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
For the purpose of illustrating the present invention I have shown in Fig. 1 an axle 1,
Serial No. 68,494. (No model.)
provided with the usual spindle extension 2, 3 designating the inner bearing-sleeve of the hub, the latter being shown at 4:-
In carrying out the present invention the outer end portion of the spindle is formed with an annular groove 5, which has the effect of providing oppositelylocated inner and outer shoulders 6 and 7, respectively, the shoulder 7 forming the inner face of a collar 8 at the extremity of the spindle.
The hub-attaching device or retainer com prises, essentially, a pair of semicylindrical segments 9 and 10, which meet on a line diametrical to the axial center of the spindle 2, the line of meeting being designated at 11. Furthermore, each of the segments is provided at its inner end with an enlarged semicircular flange 12, so that when the two segments are brought together a complete annular flange is formed atthe inner end of the retainer, which flange is adapted to bear against the outer end of the hub l, as shown in Fig. 1. The segments 9 and 10 are of a size adapting them to fit snugly between the shoulders 6 and 7 on the spindle, so as to pre- Vent movement of the retaining device longitudinally of the spindle.
In order to provide for holding the segments upon the spindle and in engagement with the groove 5, said segments are encircled by a spring-ring 13, which is somewhat elliptical in shape, as indicated in Fig. 2. The ring is connected to one of the segments, as 9, by passing the same through a keeperloop 14: on said segment. The other segment 10 is provided at a point diametrically opposite from the loop Ll with a groove or depression 15, forming a seat into which the springring is adapted to snap when forced over the segment 10, the engagement between the ring and segment 10 being indicated by the dotted line 16 in Fig. 2, such dotted line indicating the base of the groove or depression for the reception of the ring. The segments are further properly positioned and held with respect to each other by means of dowel-pins 17 on one of the segments, which enter corresponding sockets in the meeting face of the opposing segment. After placing the wheel upon the spindle the segments 9 and 10 are brought together at opposite sides of the spindie between the shouldersG and 7 until the dowel-pins 17 enter the sockets in the op posing segment. The spring-ring 13 is then sprung, so as to cause it to pass over the outer ends of both of the segments, and said ring is then forced onto the segment until it snaps into the depression 15, being held therein by reason of the resiliency of thering and the tendency for said ring to resume the elliptical form shown in Fig. 2. In order to remove the retaining device, it is only necessary to reverse the operation just described.
In order to facilitate the application and removal of the attaching device, I usually employ a Wrench or spanner 19, provided with oppositely-located arms 20 and 21, the arm 20 being straight or plain, While the other arm 21 is provided with a terminal inbent hook 22, which is adapted to engage either behind or in front of the spring-ring, While the end of the straight arm 20 bears against the outer surface of one of the segments and forms the fulcrum of the wrench or spanner.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that all screw-threads and nuts, as such, are dispensed with and the consequent liability of the nut to work loose. The attaching device herein described is simple in construction, cheap in manufacture, and forms a reliable fastening device for holding the wheel-hub in place. At the same time the retaining or attaching device may be displaced or attached for allowing the wheel to be removed whenever required.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a grooved and shouldered spindle, of a hub-attaching device consisting of a pair of semieylindrical segments adapted to fit the grooved portion of the spindle, one of said segments being provided with a depression, and an elliptical spring-ring adapted to snap into said depression, said ring being loosely connected to the opposing segment.
2. The combination with a grooved and shouldered spindle, of a hub-attaching device comprising a pair of semicylindrical segments having a dowel-pin connection, one of said segments being provided with a depression, and a flattened or elliptical-shaped springring loosely connected to the other segment and adapted to snap into said depression.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

There is a N. S. Anderson mentioned in a suit against Four Leaf Oil Company. It was by an order of sale forcing the Oil company to sell property to pay N. S. Anderson $1048.00 in August 1921. The oil land is in Wichita county, Texas.
Unless we can find the original court records, we can't be certain if this N. S. Anderson is ours.
However it is know that Nathan S. Anderson's son, Hilbart A. Anderson, was working as an oil worker in Burkburnett, Texas when his daughter was born in 1920 and that is in the same county of Wichita. So that makes it likely that Nathan may have invested in the Oil company.
From the newspaper, Wichita Daily Times (Wichita Falls, Texas), 12 July 1921:
SHERRIF'S SALE.
The State of Texas, county of Wichita. By virtue of a certain order of sale issued out of the honorable 89th district court of Wichita county, on the 12th day of July, 1921, by A. F.
