Madison County Journal, 1 Dec 2004
Frances Bone Anderson, 83, of Winterville Retirement Center, Winterville, died 
Monday, November 22, 2004, from the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

The daughter of Ralph J. and Frances Wyland Bone, she was born in Onslow, Iowa 
January 10, 1921. Educated in the public schools of Monticello, Iowa, she was 
a graduate of Grinnell College. Mrs. Anderson taught history and government in 
the Algonia, Iowa and Boone, Iowa schools. She lived in Alliance, Iowa for 17 
years and in Glendale, Ca. for seven before moving to Athens in 1974. 

She was always interested in education and governmental affairs, served as a 
volunteer tutor for grade school children, taught Sunday School, and assisted 
wives of foreign students in learning English. She was an active member of the 
League of Women Voters and organized the first Head Start in Alliance. She 
participated in the Athens Council on Aging and the Meals-on-Wheels program.

Her friends admired her warm, friendly manner as well as her homemaking 
skills. An excellent cook, she particularly enjoyed making dozens of cookies 
and many candies at Christmas. Friends looked forward to her annual Cookie 
Day. She sewed and knitted various articles, among them baby blankets for her 
friends. Blessed with a good sense of humor, she collected jokes and passed 
them on when she visited any friends who may have been house bound or 
hospitalized. An avid reader, she shared her books with others. She was 
preceded in death by three brothers.

Survivors include her husband of 58 years, Charles H. Anderson; son, Jeffrey 
Anderson, New Castle, Ca.; daughters, Barbara Muratore, Athens, JoEllen 
Giesbrecht (Mrs. Steve) of Hull and Julie Chapman (Mrs. Carl), Alpharetta; 
seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Church with the Revs. James Bowden, Mark Harper and Beecher Mathes 
officiating.

Aging.  National Cremation Society, Lilburn, was in charge of arrangements.
