OBITUARY W. F. Anderson
Passes Away Quite Suddenly William Franklin Anderson was born in
Missouri January 14, 1872. His parents came to Texas when he was fifteen years
of age and settled near Venus. Since that time he has been a resident of this
state; sixteen years being spent in Dallas county and eleven here in Carrollton.
Mr. Anderson passed away at his home here about 4 o'clock a.m. Monday, July 31,
following a stroke of paralysis Sunday evening at 5 o'clock. After the stroke he
seemed to rest easily but did not converse with anyone, his last words coming
when he called his wife when he felt the attack Sunday evening. Some four years
ago Mr. Anderson was injured in a car wreck, and in March 1932 he had a stroke
of paralysis. Since that time he has seemingly recovered and was up and around
and quite cheerful and assisted at the Highway Garage operated by his son, Jack
Anderson, a great deal of the time. He operated for a long time, the Midway
Station on the Denton road where it forks to Coppell and Ft. Worth.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the First Baptist church, Rev.
W. A. Cunningham, former pastor here conducting the service and preaching the
sermon. He was assisted by Rev. W. N. Vernon, pastor of the Methodist church and
of which church deceased was a member, and by Rev. Earl Johnston, who read the
scripture lesson. Pall bearers were: Claude James, Ernest James, Jake
Gravley, C. L. Chastain, George Nyfeler, and Bud Savell. Interment was in
Union Cemetery east of town.
In 1898 Mr. Anderson and Miss Maggie Brown,
an Ellis county girl, were unitd in marriage in Callahan county. To this union
twelve children were born, four of them dying in infancy. The wife, Mrs. Maggie
Anderson, and the following children survive the husband and father: J. W.
(Jack), Walter, Remmer, Martion, Maggie Viola, all fo Carrollton; Mrs. Lissie
Clark, Mrs. Opal Tyon, and Mrs. Agnes Scocklley, all of Dallas. Four brothers
and two sisters survive as follows: L. T. Anderson of Tokio, N. L. of Albany, M.
L. of Reno, J. H. of Addison, Mrs. Anne Gentry and Mrs. Stella Callahan both of
Kaufman.
Mr. Anderson was converted in 1903 and joined the Methodist church. He was at
the time of his death 61 years, 6 months and 16 days old. The end came so
suddenly and so peacefully that the family scarcely realized that he was
stricken until he was taken from them by death. To the sorrowing family goes out
the sympathy of the entire community. --- CARD OF THANKS
To the neighbors and friends who were so kind and thoughtful and ministered
to our wants and extended their sympathy in our hours of grief, we desire to say
"God Bless You" for all these kindnesses. Your thoughtfulness shall ever be
remembered by us.
