James Anderson's biography is included in A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio (1916) by Hewson L. Peeke. At the time the book was published, Anderson's property included 250 acres. His biography noted that it comprised one of the most beautiful farms to be found anywhere along the shores of Lake Erie. For a distance of 1,800 feet the farm borders on the lake shore, and in that state is found one of the finest bathing beaches in Northern Ohio, bearing the name by which the farm is also known: Lake View.
