  11. Elizabeth Y. Anderson

    Elizabeth (born Olive Elizabeth) Yourtee Anderson, tireless worker for her family, church, community and for historic preservation, departed quickly and peacefully from this world May 22, 2011. Betty, as she was commonly known, was born Jan. 23, 1926, in Hagerstown, Md., daughter of the late Justice Leon Ryno Yourtee and Olive Grace (Ahalt) Yourtee. Growing up at Greystone in Brownsville, Md., she attended the Brownsville School and graduated from Boonsboro High School, where she was awarded the academic award of excellence. As the world slowly emerged from the Great Depression, she worked for Baer Brothers in Hagerstown and attended Columbia Business College. Moving to Baltimore after the end of the second world war, she worked for Reliable Liquors, one of the largest distributors in Maryland. In 1946, she was married to Gilbert Eugene Anderson. The two then moved to Parkton, Md., where they built a home and became active members of St. James Church, Parkton. After beginning a family there, Mr. Anderson took an early retirement from his position as an engineer, and in 1960, the couple moved to Friendship Farm near Creagerstown, Md., where they operated a thriving dairy for many years. Betty was a superb farmer and herdsman, managing and operating the dairy and breeding a prize-winning Holstein herd, which she milked twice a day for more than 35 years. Betty was fiercely proud to be a farmer and considered it a noble calling. During this time, she volunteered at Frederick Memorial Hospital while earning a cum laude Bachelor of Arts degree from Hood College, with departmental honors in history for her thesis on Catoctin Furnace. In 1995, Betty completed EFM (Education for Ministry), a four-year advanced degree in theological history.
