The Journal of the 129th Convention of the Diocese of Georgia remembered him with the memorial, “Jefferson Randolph Anderson was a stalwart and faithful son of the Church, who rendered invaluable service to his parish, the Diocese, and the General Church. He was for fifteen years Senior Warden of Christ Church, Savannah. He represented this Diocese as a Deputy to eight General Conventions, and for seven of them (1919-1937) was Chairman of the Committee on the Dispatch of Business of The House of the Deputies, the most important position held by a layman. In the Diocese he was Treasurer of the Board of Officers of the Corporation from 1921 to 1950. It was due to his wise and unremitting care that the funds of the Diocese are on such a firm foundation. He was for thirty years a member of the Standing Committee. There is no phase of the life of the Diocese which does not owe much to his interest. A Gentleman of the old school, a man of complete integrity, a Christian in faith and character, his talents were always used in the service of His Lord. He was born in Savannah, September 4, 1861, and died there July 17, 1950. Steadfast in life, and faithful unto death.”
