Early life

Frederic Anderson was born on September 9, 1879, to Frederic Anderson and Rosamund Piers at Adyar, South India.[1] Anderson was educated at Haileybury College in England, and was employed by the Bank of England for three years.[2] Anderson would move to Canada in 1907 and homesteaded northwest of Medicine Hat.[2] In 1914 he would enlist in the 28th battalion and served overseas in the First World War, ending his service as a major.[2]

Political career

Anderson ran for a seat in the Alberta Legislature in the 1935 Alberta general election. He ran as a Social Credit candidate in the electoral district of Calgary. He took the third seat on the 15th count to win his first term in office.[3] Anderson ran for a second term in the 1940 Alberta general election. He won the 5th seat just barely hanging on to win re-election.[4] Anderson was re-elected to his third and final term in the 1944 Alberta general election. He improved his showing by winning second place in the district.[5] Anderson's health began to deteriorate in 1947, and he did not attend any sittings of the Legislature in 1948.[2] Anderson did not seek re-election in 1948 and retired from politics at the dissolution of the legislature.
