Peyton Tooke Anderson, Sr.

A native of Hawkinsville, Georgia, young P.T. Anderson worked industriously to learn the printing trade along with his brothers, W.T. and Eugene, at The Hawkinsville Dispatch. Later, as a young adult, he began work at The Macon Telegraph. His strong work ethic and keen busi¬ness acumen resulted in his appointment as the Executive Vice President of the Telegraph Publishing Company. Eugene was City Editor and columnist at The Macon Telegraph for many years and also wrote for several other newspapers during his career. W.T. co-published the Macon paper. All the Anderson loved learning. W.T. and P.T. kept a 30-volume set of encyclopedias in the trunk of their car when they traveled on business to look up information when curiosity struck.
