The news of the death of Mrs. Patton (Henrietta Buford Adair) Anderson was received with keen regret by the community yesterday, for few are better known and more beloved than was the deceased lady. She had been a resident among us for thirty years during which time she made herself a factor in the charitable, social, church bodies and was founder of the Daughters of the Confederacy chapter in this city. Of a kind and loving disposition she was esteemed by all those who knew her and in her death Palatka loses one of her oldest residents. Death came early Sunday morning. Although in ill health for some time, hopes were entertained that she would yet be spared for some years. However, this was not to be, the cause of death being a stroke of paralysis.
Mrs. Patton Anderson was born in Tompkinsville, Ky., on June 3rd, 1834 (83 years ago). In 1853 she married Patton Anderson who took such a prominent part in the Civil War and it was during that time made a general of the Confederate Army. In 1856, together with her husband came to Florida where they lived for some ten years except the war period when she on many occasions accompanied her husband. On the signing of peace they went to live in Memphis, Tenn., and from there went to Morganville, Ky., until 1887 when she came to Palatka where she has resided until the time of her death.
