William or Warren?
Are we sure his name is William E. Anderson? I'm finding a source that gives his name as Warren: "Warren E. Anderson, M.D. University of Alabama, Mobile, 1882; a member of the American Medical Association and president of the Escambia County (Fla.) Medical Society in 1893; vice-president of the Pensacola board of commissioners and ex-officio mayor of the city from 1893 to 1895; local agent of the State Board of Health; one of the most prominent practitioners of Florida; died at his home in Pensacola, February 1, aged 54."[1] — admin • talk 06:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- You put the William there, man. I haven't the slightest idea :-) — dscosson • talk 13:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey, on the name issue... History of Escambia County calls him William. See this. — dscosson • talk 00:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Same guy?
There was a Dr. Warren E. Anderson in Pensacola who served on the State Board of Health, among other things. He died February 1, 1912. See this. Think it's the same guy? — dscosson • talk 00:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, see that long excerpt above. It identifies him both as a physician who served on the state board of health and mayor. — admin • talk 02:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
1895
Our article states, "...and again (after the state legislature required a new election in the middle of Pat McHugh's term) from 1895 to 1896."
McHugh was elected in a highly contentious election on June 4, 1895. I've gone through the papers for the rest of that year and am into 1896 and McHugh is still mayor. I'm going to change the date to 1896. — dscosson • talk 23:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
