  Notes	James F. Anderson was an entrepreneur with his own Barbershop in Harrisburg. He died tragically in a mass shooting. Upon hearing gunshots coming from the direction of his business, on the afternoon of January 27, 1942 , James rushed to his wife's aide and was killed by a gunshot wound to the neck. His murderer was a boarder in his own home who had resided in the Anderson's home for over a year and a half. Although Mrs. Anderson was the first person shot, she survived her husband for several years. From the killer's published testimony, it seems like he may have been thrown off his intent to murder Mrs. Anderson by the presence of her Blind sister in the Barbershop. The day following the shootings, the killer was returned to the scene of the crime with Harrisburg police, and Galvan said: "I fired two shots at Mrs. Anderson, but I did not try to shoot the woman who could not see. (Mrs. Annie Buckner, 67, Anderson's blind sister). I did not want to shoot her."
