In Memory of Catherine Elizabeth Timmerman Anderson

Catherine Elizabeth Timmerman Anderson was born in Edgefield County, South
Carolina, August 28, 1831.

She was converted at the age of eleven years and joined a church in Chambers
County, Ala.  She was married to J. E. Anderson in Coosa County, Alabama, when
she was nineteen years of age.  There were born to her eight children, four of
whom are living.  There are sixteen grandchildren living, and three dead, and
four great grandchildren all living.  She is also survived by one sister, Mrs.
D. F. Averette of this city.

Mrs. Anderson with her husband came to Louisiana in the winter of 1881 and
settled near Arcadia.  They moved to Winnfield in 1906.  At that time they
were making their home with their son, Earnest.  While visiting with her
husband in Texas in the summer of 1909, her husband died and was buried in
that state.

Her death came in the afternoon of December 29, 1924, at the home of her son,
B. L. Anderson, in Winnfield.  Her funeral was conducted at the Baptist Church
by the pastor, Rev. L. D. Posey, on the following day and her remains laid to
rest in the Winnfield Cemetery.

Mrs. Anderson was in every way a faithful wife and devoted mother.  Her entire
life was noted for its beautiful Christlike spirit.  She was a regular
attendant at all her church services until only a few months before her death.
She was loyal to every cause fostered by her church and a devoted admirer of
her pastor.  It was her free will offering that became the foundation fund for
the beautiful communion set now owned by the church.

We commend the life of Mrs. Anderson as one of worthy of emulation of all who
desire to live for the Cause of Christ.
