Anderson, 64, born near Tallahassee, Fla., pioneer resident of Navarro County, coming to this county with her parents in December of 1865, died at her home here Sunday at midnight.

Mrs. J. P. ANDERSON PASSED AWAY NEAR MIDNIGHT SUNDAY
FUNERAL SERVICES AT HOME TUESDAY MORNING AT 10 O’CLOCK
Mrs. J. P. Anderson, aged 64 years, passed away at her home
626 South Fifteenth street, Sunday night just a few minutes
before midnight. Deceased had been confined to her bed
practically all the time for the better part of a year. The
end came, however, very peacefully, the afflicted lady
lapsing into unconsciousness a few hours previous, and just
before midnight hour, slipping away so quietly and
peacefully that the anxious watchers by her bedside hardly
realized that she had breathed her last.
Funeral services will be held at the home, 626 South
Fifteenth street, tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 10 o’clock,
with the Rev. Eugene W. Potter, pastor of the First
Methodist church, officiating. Assisted by Rev. E. P.
Kennedy, pastor of the First Baptist church, and Rev. Ilion
T. Jones, pastor of the Third avenue Presbyterian church.
After the services at the home the remains will be taken
overland to the St.
Elmo cemetery, just over the Freestone county line, in
the Winkler community, where interment will take place
beside her beloved husband, who passed away 32 years ago.
The nephews of Mrs. Anderson will act as both active and
honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers will be Will,
Arthur and Aubrey Roberts of Streetman, and Homer, Forest
and Jack Sweatman of Corsicana. Other nephews who will be
honorary pallbearers will be Andrew, Jack, Hugh and Claude
Steele, Jack, Joe, Barclay and Lish Roberts, Shade, Will and
Travis Sweatman.
Deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Ewing Edens, and
one son, S. E. (Dick) Anderson, of Corsicana, and one
brother and one sister, W. B. Sweatman of Carleton, Hamilton
county, and Mrs. Lish Roberts of Streetman, besides numerous
other relatives.
Mrs. Anderson had been ill for many months and during that
time had been a patient though great sufferer. And during
all this time she had not only had the care of good
physicians, but the tender and solicitous care of a trained
nurse and her devoted daughter, Mrs. Ewing Edens, as well as
that of her son and other devoted relatives and friends. She
has suffered so much that death held no terrors for her, and
during the past few weeks, on numerous occasions she had
said she was ready and anxious to go when her Savior called.
Mrs. Anderson was born in the State of Florida near
Tallahassee, the capital of that State. She was the daughter
of Shade and Liza Sweatman, who came to Texas with their
family in December 1865, and settled at Winkler, in the
southeastern edge of Navarro county, where deceased
continued to live until she removed to Corsicana with her
two children thirty-one years ago, mainly for the purpose of
giving her daughter and son the better educational
advantages to be had here. She was married to J. P. Anderson
on December 25, 1879. Mr. Anderson died after a gin accident
32 years ago.
During all the years that Mrs. Anderson had lived in
Corsicana, and elsewhere, as well, naught but good could
ever be said of her. She was a good and kind neighbor, and
there are many persons living today who can testify
truthfully to the fact that she was ever ready to hear the
cry of distress from those more unfortunate in the world’s
goods than herself, and always extended a helping hand at a
time when it would do the most good.
Those who have lived as neighbors to this good woman have
always found her at their call when sickness, distress or
sorrow have entered their home, and no night was too cold or
dark and bleak to prevent her from responding to the call of
the afflicted and distressed. Though having been herself in
declining health for many months, her thoughts were not of
herself but for others whom she felt needed succor and
assistance.
She was a member of the First Baptist church of Corsicana,
and lived a consistent Christian life. Her works were of the
kind that are not known by everyone, going about her
Christian ministrations each and every day, ever mindful of
the lowly Nazarene’s words, when He said, “When ye do it
unto the least of these, my children, ye do it also unto
me.” Her Christianity and religion could not be measured by
the number of times she sat within the confines of her
church and listened to the voice of her pastor, as her works
were out in the world and were done in a quiet and
unostentatious manner as becometh the pure in heart and the
true follower of Him who gave his life that all mankind
might have everlasting life.

pallbearers.
The passing of this good woman has cast a pall of gloom over a large
part of the city, where she was known and beloved of many, and where
her good works during her long residence here had endeared her to a
host of friends and loved ones. The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the daughter and son and other relatives who are left to
mourn the passing of this good woman, truly a Mother of Israel.
There were numerous relatives and friends who came from various
sections of the State to pay their final tribute of love and
devotion to the one whom they held most dear in life and mourned
after passing away.

Dr. Thomas
Shelton Armstrong
Oct 27, 1861 - Dec 4, 1927
FORMER DALLAS PASTOR KILLED
Dr. T. S. Armstorng Run Over By Train at Grosbeck
Dr. T. S. Armstrong, 66, local Methodist minister, was killed Sunday evening when he was run over by a northbound Southern
Pacific freight train.
Dr. Armstrong was on his way to the post office when he was killed.
He and a party of kinsmen were arranging a deer hunt and in a few days he expected to be on the Texas-Mexican border for this
purpose.
Dr. Armstrong was going to the depot to mail a letter when the train struck him. His head and leg were badly bruised.
Becoming alarmed over her husband's prolonged absence, Mrs. Armstrong went to look for him and almost stumbled over the body.
The station agent heard her shrikes and came to her assistance.
Dr. Armstrong was widely known in Texas and had spent forty-seven
years in preaching all over the State. He had been stationed at Oak Cliff, Waco, and numerous important stations. He had been
presiding elder for eight years and withdrew from the cabinet when he thought he should step aside and let others serve in this
capacity. He was a native of Panola County.
He is survived by his wife; a daughter, Mrs. J. P. McCullough of Dallas; a son,
James Armstrong of Dallas; two brothers, Emmett and James of Center, Texas; one sister,
Mrs. Carrie Sessums of Dallas, and his mother, Mrs. Cynthia Armstrong, 101 years old, of Dallas.
Funeral services will be held here
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and at
3 o'clock in the afternoon at the First Methodist Episcopal Church, South at Corsicana, with
Presiding Elder A. W. Hall of Corsicana officiating. Burial will be in Corsicana.
December 5, 1927, Dallas, Texas
Dr.
Armstrong was one of the early pastors of the Oak Cliff Methodist Church, coming to the church in the fall of 1891. Later he served as
pastor of the First Methodist Church at Arlington.
Mrs. James Armstrong, mother of Dr. Armstrong, lives at 612 East Sixth street. A
sister, Mrs. Carrie Sessions; a son, James Armstrong and a daughter, Mrs. Gilpin McCullough, also live in Dallas.
December 7, 1927, Groesbeck, Texas
Investigation of the accidental killing of Dr. T. S. Armstrong here Sunday night
showed that he was not run over by a train, as at first reported, but was his and knocked down by a large box car in the train.
An inspection of the train at Corsicana showed it was the twenty-second car from the engine which struck Dr. Armstrong.
The minister
had crossed the track to mail a letter at the depot. As he was knocked down, both arms were broken, the side of his face and head were crushed
and he was killed instantly. Notes:
