- chairman of the board of the BURDICK
Corporation and prominent in community and county activities
for many years. He died Wednesday, May 15, in a hospital in Rochester,

Sweden, on Sept. 12, 1890. He came to
- Chicago in 1907 and in 1913 came to
Milton to become associated with F. F. BURDICK in a small
manufacturing project. Physical medicine was in its infancy and
knowledge on the subject was meager. Very little equipment of
therapeutic value was available. In this setting the future of
the BURDICK company was established.
- The BURDICK plant grew as physicians
became interested in the benefits of heat and
- electricity and the need for scientifically
designed apparatus. Mr. ANDERSON became board chairman
in Oct. 1961, after serving as president since 1930.
- The BURDICK Corporation is now
one of the largest manufacturing plants of its kind
- in the nation, employing 140 persons
with dealers throughout the United States and in many foreign
countries. Principal products are the electrocardiograph, ultrasonic
unit and a diathermy machine for treatment where deep heat therapy
is required. The firm is observing its 50th anniversary this
year.
- Mr. ANDERSON also was active
in civic affairs. He was a member of both the
- grade school and high school boards
of education as well as a member of the Milton College board
of trustees on which he has served many terms. He was a member
of the Tri-county YMCA board for many years and served on the
Phantom Lake YMCA Camp board of directors for over thirty years.
He was elected president of the Tri-Y in 1952 and re-elected
in 1953 after serving on the board for thirty-two years. He was
also a member of the Janesville Rotary Club, the Rock River Gideon
Camp, and served many years on the board of trustees of Milton
Congregational Church. He was also active in his church as a
deacon and Sunday school teacher. He was once president of the
Milton Civic Club and served on the Milton village board. Among
his other affiliations were the Union League of Chicago, Wisconsin
Manufacturers' Association, The Electro-medical Manufacturers'
Association, of which he was chairman for ten years. He was also
an honorary lay member of the American Congress of Physical Medicine.
- On April 24, 1962, a community-wide
appreciation night was held in Milton at which
- 190 persons paid tribute to Mr. ANDERSON.
