Obituary: The Pulaski Citizen 20 Oct 1937

A message received by relatives here, brought news of the death of Sidney Anderson, a former resident of Pulaski, atahospital in San Antonio, Texas, Wednesdaymorning, Oct.20. The body will be brought back to Pulaski, but definite funeral arrangements have not been announced. Mr. Anderson underwent a major surgical operation, about two weeks ago. And while no details are known here, the supposition is that death resulted from the operation together with his physical condition, making the operation necessary.

As announced last week Albert Sidney Anderson of San Antonio, Texas, died at his home there Wednesday morning. The body arrived in Pulaski on the early morning train Friday. Funeral services were held at the Pulaski Methodist Church Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by Dr. G.A. Morgan.

Although the sad death of Cornelius Anderson has already been noted in the Citizen, yet it is my duty as correspondent to say something regard to this shocking accident and the sudden death of this good man. He and his two sons were getting wood on a steep hillside. The tree after being cut down gave a sudden bound and a limb struck Mr. Anderson on the back of the head. He was carried to his home on a litter and medical aid immediately summoned but nothing could be done. About 24 hours after the accident he expired. His remains were carried to Moriah for interment where Revs. Rice and Rabman officiated in the funeral services. He leaves a wife, four daughters and two sons besides a number of other relatives to mourn his loss. Another member of the Salem church and Sunday School is gone to his reward.
