T. FRANK ANDERSON, AGE 48 DEAD

The entire community was under a shadow of gloom Saturday when news came from a Fort Worth hospital that T. Frank Anderson's spirit had departed. Only one week ago he was taken to the hospital for an operation for appendicitis. At first it was thought he was doing nicely, but later complications set up that medical aid could not control and after several days of agony, caused from intense suffering, he died Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Anderson was born Nov. 11, 1882, in Forsythe county, Georgia, and came to Texas with his parents at the age of 4. Was married to Miss Lillie Moorhead Dec. 16, 1901, and to this union was born one son, Norbert of Fort Worth, and two daughters, Mrs. Clara Nolen of Ft. Worth and Miss Nina Mae of this city, who were at his bedside during illness and death. He joined the Baptist church at an early age. He and his family moved to Arlington about six years ago where he engaged in the cafe business until the election of Sheriff J. R. Wright four years ago when Mr. Anderson was appointed deputy sheriff. He was a man well known and appreciated especially by those who had the privilege of close association. He was at all times honorable and upright in his dealings with his fellowman, ever ready to serve a friend.

He was one of the most popular officers in the county, this being fully demonstrated at his funeral when state, county, and city officers came to pay respect to their departed co-worker. The state motorcycle cops led the funeral procession to the church and then to the cemetery, followed by county and city officials. Floral offerings are said to be one of the largest ever placed around a casket in this city. It was a demonstration of love and respect greatly appreciated by loved ones. All traffic was stopped as the funeral procession wended it's way to Rose Hill cemetery. On arrival four patrolmen had the gates standing ajar with all traffic on highway at a standstill as the cemetery was entered.

Rev. W. T. Rouse, pastor of Arlington Baptist church and Rev. H. B. Hensley of Fort Worth Baptist church officiated at the funeral Sunday afternoon at Arlington Baptist church.

Survivors are one son and two daughters, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Anderson of Dublin, and five brothers, L. M. of Ft. Worth, Horace H. of Vernon, Ray of Oakland, California, Claud of Oklahoma City, Okla., Norwell of Arlington, one sister Mrs. A. Cathey of Vernon, Pallbearers were Sheriff J. R. Wright, Punch Wright, D. L. Rains, Joe Collins, Malcolm Davis and Frank Rimmer.
