  	Old Timers of Sabine County (pages 65-67) Virigie Speights August 27, 1964 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,"
