The 1915 city directory lists Gust L. Anderson, shoemaker, with business at 2532 W. Superior and rooming at “2717 W 2d.” The 1917 Duluth city directory records Gust L.

Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Duluth, Local Board #2. Living at 2717 W 2nd St., Duluth. His occupation is shoemaker. No employer is listed (perhaps it’s himself) but an address is: 2532 West Superior Street. His nearest relative is Edward Anderson, Box 278, Proctor. He is tall and of medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. He claims to have a dislocated hip. Shown in the 1920 census (January 3) as living as a “lodger” at 2729 West First Street in Duluth. Shown as having emigrated in 1902 and naturalized as a citizen in 1911. Elaine recalls: “He was always dressed to the T's....meaning dress pants with a shirt and vest....at least the times we saw him.” In the 1930 census living as a lodger at 109 27th Avenue South in Duluth. Emigrated in 1902. Is a shoe repairer; apparently owns his business. In the 1940 census, he lives at 2713 West Huron as a lodger. He’s a 56 year-old single tailor with an eighth-grade education. He was a shoe repairer. The St. Louis County death index has: #90003 Gust L. Anderson died May 17, 1949, with the comment “BP - Reel #2.” (Minnesota Death Certificate #1949-MN-001906, county of death Carlton.) In the 1942-43 Duluth city directory, he is Gust L Anderson, shoe rebuilder. His business is at 2527 West Superior and his residence is 2713 Huron. In the 1944 directory, he is a shoe repairer. Same in the 1946 city directory. The July 13, 1946, edition of the Brainerd newspaper notes that “Gust Anderson of Duluth spent Saturday and Sunday with John Everson’s.” He died of pneumonia as Gust L. His residence was 2713 Huron Street, Duluth. His death certificate gave his occupation as shoemaker. Because Gust died at the Moose Lake State Hospital, he was either mentally ill or an alcoholic. The hospital had a cemetery so he may have been buried there.
