Mr. and Mrs. Wade W. Anderson will be honored on their golden wedding anniversary with a huge family reunion type of celebration with all friends and relatives invited for the all day affair at their newly remodeled home, Sunday, August 30, 1964. There will be a noon dinner and open house in the afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock. Hosting the event will be the six children of the Andersons, Mrs. G. L. Beauchamp of Bronson; Mrs. Ruth Tacker, Charlie Anderson, and William W. Anderson, all of Dallas; Mrs. Eula Broussard of Houston and Bostick Anderson of Lufkin. They also have 21 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

In 1914, he carried a load of stock to South Houston for George Oliphant. On the way home he stopped at Zavalla to attend a camp meeting and visit a friend. "I was sitting there listening to the sermon, under that tabernacle, when in walked this beautiful girl with her relatives she was visiting. I took one loks and said to myself, 'That's the girl of my dreams!'"----three weeks later, I hitched up the horse and buggy and headed towards Huntington. Mr. Anderson was 28 and Mrs. Anderson 24, and he didn't see any use wasting any more time. He asked her about getting married, and when she agreed he said "Well how about tomorrow for getting married." They were married in Lufkin less than a month after they met. A young Church of Christ preacher, Bro. Campbell, performed the ceremony, and they spent the night in the Angelina Hotel, the next night in Zavalla, with Mrs. Anderson's relatives, the next at Blue Springs with Will Davidson, and the next at Sabinetown with Lewis Maunds. World War I was brewing, and times were hard. Anderson said that "I borrowed $25 from Lee Lord to set up housekeeping on a place I already owned. We worked hard and had plenty to eat, and enough clothes already, but that was the last money we saw for a year. It was impossible to sell anything. The cotton markets were closed. We've had our ups and down, never much money, but always plenty of love and good times together as we raised our children,"

Notes:

Said to have married second Julia Lucinda GARLINGTON (15 Aug 1859 - 3 Nov 1931), with whom he shares a double marker at Harpers Chapel Cemetery.

John married Mary Elizabeth Bostick. Mary (daughter of Wade Hampton "Hamp" Bostick and Mary Matilda Deen) was born on 22 Dec 1859 in Atlanta, Winn Parish, Louisiana; died on 12 May 1907 in Sabinetown, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Prospect Cemetery, Florien, Sabine Parish, Louisiana.

Notes:

Ancestry.com shows that he was a Confederate Soldier, serving with the 28 (Gray's) Louisiana Infantry, Compnay H, Private, Film #M378, roll 1. His enlistment date was 1862. His widow, Susan Anderson, applied for a Confederate Pension in Louisiana. Roll #T288-8.

Speights says that the family can be traced "back to an early American who came to North Carolina from Gottsburg, Sweden in 1772, drifted to Mississippi....in the 1850's the Andersons, along with their relatives, the Coopers, the Brents, Deans and Bosticks, set out for Texas." (Speights, Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas, p. 65).

George married Susan Alice Brent before 1850 in Hinds County, Mississippi. Susan was born on 12 Aug 1830 in Raymond, Hinds County, Mississippi; died on 30 Jun 1905 in Florien, Sabine Parish, Louisiana; was buried in Prospect Cemetery, Florien, Sabine Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Virgie Speights wrote that the Brent's "were English, and opposed to slavery." (Speights, Old Timers of Sabine County, p. 66).

Notes:

Married:
Ancestry.com shows the marriage of George A. Anderson to Alice Susan Brent on 18 Dec 1841, in Hinds, Mississippi. It appears the year is incorrect, maybe they were married in 1849?

Notes:

Dale Rubel shows him as a son of George W. Bostick and his wife, Clarinda, both born in South Carolina.

In her book, "Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas," Virgie Speights stated that "In the 1850's the Andersons, along with their relatives, the Coopers, the Brents, Deans and Bosticks, set out for Texas." (p. 65) She also indicated that Hamp was of Irish Heritage.

Wade married Mary Matilda Deen on 19 May 1853 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. Mary was born on 25 Jun 1836 in Atlanta, Winn Parish, Louisiana; died on 1 Sep 1891; was buried in Prospect Cemetery, Florien, Sabine Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
