The Union Record furnishes the following brief but unusually melancholy history of a husband and wife of Union Parish. The history of our late friend and neighbor, Henry Anderson, is a sad one. He and his wife and daughter, about two months since, went to N. Orleans. Not having heard from them for some time after they should have been at home the friends of the family made the necessary investigation and found that after reaching the city Mr. Anderson and wife both died, and the daughter has been very low ever since, and is at this time. Mr. Anderson was one of our most energetic and useful citizens, and his loss will be greatly felt by the community. They leave two or three small children fatherless and motherless.FAMILY LORE - contributed by Sherry Gresham Gritzbaugh
My great grandmother, Mrs. Wiley (Mittie Rea) Anderson once told me Elizabeth Thomas, the second wife, and Henry P. Anderson went to New Orleans to sell cotton. There was a fever epidemic. Henry P. got sick and Elizabeth stayed behind to take care of him. She also became ill. It has been told that they were buried in a mass grave.... I was also told they took some former slaves with them. It would be interesting to know how the daughter was able to get back home.... .Union Parish, La, Pg. 251 - Contributed by Sherry Gritzbaugh
