Mr. Theo. B. Anderson Sr., formerly and for many years a prominent citizen of Palatka, died at the Anderson home on North Third street at 2 o'clock last Sunday morning after a long illness, in the fifty-eighth year of his age.
Mr. Anderson was a son of the late Major General J. Patton Anderson of the Confederate army, and who was also a member of the Florida Convention which declared for secession. The family home was at Monticello, in Jefferson county, and Gen. Anderson ranks as one of the State's most eminent citizens. Here Mr. T. B. Anderson was born and lived until he came to Palatka some 30 years ago.
During his life in this city Mr. Anderson was long connected with the old Florida Southern Railway. He also served some time as city clerk of Palatka.
For the past several years he had been in a most serious condition of health, and suffered greatly. For some months it has been impossible for him to get out.
Mr. Anderson is survived by his mother, Mrs. Patton Anderson, and sister, Miss Margaret Anderson, both of this city, one brother, Mr. J. Patton Anderson of Morgantown, Kan., and three children, Messrs. Charles Everett and Cromwell Adair Anderson and Miss Clara Land Anderson, all of this city.
The funeral took place from the Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Anderson was a member, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. M. Alford, the pastor. The interment was in Oak Hill East Cemetery, with full Masonic honors. The sympathy of the people of Paltaka is with the family in their days of mourning.
