Kalona is still a current town located in eastern Iowa near the Amana Colonies. As far as the marriage certificate, if your ancestor had a wife that survived him, she may have applied for a widow's pension. If you send for a copy of his pension records from the National Archives in Washington, D.C., they may include a copy of that marriage certificate.

The name Anderson comes into my family as well.

Hope any of this helps. E-mail me if you have any other information. Thanks.
