(Witness) Biography1881 He was mentioned in the biography of Anderson B Wamsley:... The only representative residing in Whitewater township, is Anderson, the eldest son, who was born in the year 1840. He resided with his parents until the time of his marriage, in 1867, to Miss Mary H. Lewis. To Mr and Mrs Wamsley were born seven children - four sons and three daughters: Joseph L., Benjamin B., Anna, Clara, Edward H., Mary Alice, and George L. Mary Alice died in infancy. Mr Wamsley is one of the enterprising your farmers of Whitewater. He was a soldier in the war of 1861-5 for more than three years. He enlisted as a private, but received three commissions as a first and second lieutenant and captain. He was in numerous severe engagements, but fortune favored him and he escaped unhurt, and returned to his home crowned with all the honor to which our gallant sons were justly entitled. He has been assessor of his township various times, thus bespeaking for him the full confidence of the people. Mrs Wamsley is an earnest member of the Presbyterian church and a staunch supporter of the faith. Mr Wamsley is no associated with any church organization, but ever favors the right and is a firm advocate of law and order. in 1881.2
