It is with the deepest regret to inform you that Dr. Thomas R. Anderson, 54 died unexpectedly at 6:40 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 27, 2008, at Logansport Memorial Hospital.  He was a member of the Unity family for many years and will be missed by many.  Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. He was born June 14, 1954, in Jacksonville, Ill., to Orieda Horn Anderson of Moline, Ill., and the late Howard Anderson. He graduated from high school in Clinton, Iowa, in 1972, received a bachelor's degree in biology from Northwestern University in 1978, a medical degree from the University of Iowa in 1982, and did his residency at Ball Memorial Hospital, Muncie, in 1985, in family practice. He married Lucinda A. "Cindy" Been in Burrows on Dec. 30, 1978, and she survives.

He joined the emergency room staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette, then joined Arnett Health, working in Lafayette and Delphi. He began a family practice in Delphi in 1985, and had his office in Camden since 1990.

Dr. Anderson was a member of Hickory Grove Church, the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Family Practitioners. He enjoyed singing in the church choir, making pottery, vegetable gardening, beekeeping, cooking and woodworking.

Surviving with his wife and mother are two daughters, Martha Long (husband: Dan) of West Lafayette and Lily A. Anderson, at home; two sons, Ben Anderson (wife: Amanda) of Erie, Pa., and Sam H. Anderson-Been, at home; a sister, Judith Franing (husband: Richard) of Moline; and two brothers, John Anderson (wife: Maryann) of Tulsa, Okla., and Ed Anderson (wife: Elizabeth) of Concord, Ill.

Also surviving are parents-in-law, Herbert and Mildred Been of Delphi. Dr. Anderson was a one of a kind physician, delivering babies at home, and caring for his patients at his home. He not only was their doctor, but he bonded with them, and had lasting friendships that went way beyond doctor- patient care. He dearly loved his family and the time he spent with them.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Carroll Manor Home.
