Their other 2 daughters Myrtle (Anderson) Holub and Hazel Amy Violet (Anderson) Dellinger are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Taylor, Texas.
Henry Anderson, was a farmer who owned his own property nearby the Taylor city limits, came, like so many others to this county empty handed and on a prepaid ticket, however possessing the strength of the youth and Swedish assiduity and persistence. Therefore, Texas was for him, as well as for many others, a land of opportunity which rewards he who is hard-working and thrifty.
Anderson was a Ostgote (someone who is from Ostergotland) by birth and he was born in the parish of Krokek, close to the border of Sodermanland, in 1873. He was the oldest son of farmer C. J. Anderson and he had several siblings in Sweden as well as in Texas. In the fall of 1891, he arrived in Decker, Texas where his relative Mr. Carl Skog was residing. He stayed with his relative for a short time while he worked to pay for his ticket. After working for another few years in the same community, he leased a piece of land and started cotton farming on his own, made possible by a few hundred dollars that he had saved.
