    Ernest Ray Anderson, 93, of Rickreall died April 20 in Rickreall.
    Ernie was born in Monmouth to Nels and Petrea Madsen Anderson and soon after the family moved to Dallas. His mother died when he was barely 3 years old.
    His father was a brick mason, and as Ernie got older he worked with his father carrying bricks and doing other jobs. His father had built many of the fireplaces in homes in Dallas and the surrounding area. His father died when Ernie was 15, after which Ernie lived with a sister and her family until they moved to Eastern Oregon.
    His sister learned of Mrs. Blanch Fenton, a widow who lost her only son, Carl Fenton, soon after returning home from World War I. She needed someone to help keep up her home. Ernie went to live with her and helped her for his room and board. He was still in high school and after school each day he would work for a creamery, going on a milk truck delivering milk to homes.
    After graduation he worked inside making butter, cottage cheese, and other products. Later, Joe Card and Howard Fleming asked him to come and work with them at the Chevron gas station that at that time stood on the corner of Washington and Main streets.
    On May 15, 1939, Ernie married Ann Fritz, and Mrs. Fenton wanted Ernie to remain close by so rented him the small house in back of hers on Court Street (the area is now the new county jail).
    When the country became involved in World War II, Ernie received orders to report to Keyport, Wash., which was a Marine torpedo station. He and Ann lived there for three years. They returned to Dallas when the war ended to work again at the Chevron station and live in the house on Court Street. After Mrs. Fenton died in 1952, Ernie moved to Rickreall where he went to work for Polk County Farmer's Coop (now AG West).
    Ernie had joined the fire department in Dallas when he was about 16 years old. So when he moved to Rickreall, the fire chief asked if he would take a fire truck to Rickreall. The manager of Rickreall Farm Supply offered to keep it in their building temporarily. It was later moved to a building next to the grocery store, and two more trucks were added and Ernie bought a fire siren.
    When the church on Highway 99W burned down, the land was donated for building a fire hall. Lloyd Larkin, a local resident and member of the fire board, arranged for financing the new fire hall. Ernie was their first fire chief.
    When Polk County Housing Authority started building housing units for the elderly on Tabin Road in West Salem and later in Dallas, Ernie went to work there as maintenance supervisor, from which he retired in 1979. After having remodeled three homes, he wanted to build himself a new home on the acre of ground he bought in Rickreall where he wanted to remain for the rest of his life.
    Ernie enjoyed fishing and camping with his family and friends. He and Ann enjoyed playing golf, doing some traveling, and working on their place.
    Ernie was preceded in death by seven sisters and one brother.
    Survivors include his wife, Ann; daughter, Kristine (James) Blodget of Salem; son, Ernest Anderson Jr. of Idaho; and three grandchildren.
    Service was April 29 at Dallas Mortuary Tribute Center.
    Contributions are suggested to Willamette Valley Hospice or Rickreall Fire Department.
