George Allen Anderson, a lifelong resident of the Moscow area, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Monday, Feb. 22, 2021, in Pullman, after several years of failing health. George was born in Lewiston on Aug. 28, 1936, the only child of Arthur and Nora (Solberg) Anderson. In the early 1900s, Georgeâs father worked alongside his uncle and grandfather to establish their family farm on Burnt Ridge, just east of Troy. Georgeâs mother was a local schoolteacher, and he led an ordinary life on the farm until his father passed away when he was just 11 years old. With help from neighbors and relatives, his mother and George managed the farm together, slowly adding additional acres and equipment. Nora continued teaching, she and George rode the bus together into Troy each day, both working on the farm evenings, weekends and summers. George did most of the farm work during his last two years of high school and was allowed to start a month late in the fall, after the farm season was over. He did not plan to go to college, but Nora found help to run the farm so he could pursue his education at the University of Idaho. Since Moscow was nearby, he could still help at home on weekends and school breaks.
