ANDERSON The subject of this obituary is the death of O.P. Anderson who was born in Monroe county, Tennessee, February 20th (year not given) and removed to Calhoun county, Ala., in his eighteenth year; marrried in 1844 to Miss Rebecca A. Tatum and moved to Gordon, Claiborne Parish, La., in the year 1866; and died on Friday, June 13, 1884 in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He leaves behind him a widow and six children, three sons and three daughters, to mourn his loss. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church for many years. He died as he had lived, a christian man, a devoted husband and a loving father; a neighbor that was ever ready and willing to assist the needy and comfort the sick and distressed. There was no citizen that was more respected than Perry Anderson by all who knew him. But a good man has gone to that great beyond to take his place among the seraphism of happy spirits, basking in the beautiful light of his Father's countenance, awaiting to welcome wife, children and friends to that celestial happiness. Mourn not his loss but peace to his ashes. A friend.
