Anderson Mrs. Roberta C. Anderson, 85 years old, widow of the late George W. Anderson, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. S. Coffman, 1315 East Broadway, where she had resided for the past few months. Mrs. Anderson had been a partial invalid for several years but was always cheerful, an inspiration to all who knew her. She joined the Methodist church at Sardis, Miss. when she was very young. She was married to George W. Anderson, January 26, 1873, and in 1877 they moved south of Sedalia, where she made her home until recently. Her husband died May 20, 1891. Surviving are the following children: Mrs. C. L. Momberg, Mrs. C. O. Goodknight, Mrs. E. S. Coffman, Mrs. J. E. Bohon, and Mrs. E. C. Stevens, all of Sedalia; I. C. Anderson, of Lawton, Okla.; Mrs. Josie Brown, Indianapolis, Ind.; Mrs. R. A. Loomis, Kansas City, Kas.; J. E. Anderson of Auburn, Calif.; George B. Anderson of Petrolia, Texas. A daughter, Mrs. Lida Allcorn, preceded her in death several years ago. Surviving also are forty grandchildren and forty great grandchildren. All of her children were at her bedside except J. E. Anderson, of Auburn, Calif., whose wife is very ill. Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the Flat Creek Baptist church. Rev. Jones, pastor of the Pleasant Hill church, of which she has been a member since it was organized, will officiate. Pallbearers will be George Momberg, Louis Momberg, Chas. Goodknight, William McCune, Leo Leiter, and Tommy Gray. End Also, there are two copies given, both are exactly the same, but I assume from different days since at the bottom is handwritten “from Sedalia, MO newspapers.” Also handwritten is “Feb. 28” next to the paragraph about the funeral services. At the top it states, “Roberta Clinton Bass born April 11, 1857 died Roberta C. Anderson—Feb. 25?, 1943.” The question mark is part of the original document. Also, there is something written in parenthesis between “Bass” and “born” but I cannot read it. There are also two notes that go with some asterisks that were added to the document. The document states that George B. Anderson was a surviving child, handwritten is the following, “Her son Geo. B., listed as surviving, actually died 12-31-1918!” Another asterisk is located by the paragraph where it states that her child J. E. Anderson wasn’t at her bedside because his wife was sick, this was added, “J. E.’s wife, listed as being very ill, actually died within days of her mother-in-law.”
