Mr. Hugh Anderson went to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 22, 2011, at the age of "106" years old.
He was the son of the late Ed and Rosea Lee Downey Anderson. Mr. Anderson was born on December 16, 1905 in Sealy, Texas. He was the last survivor of 13 siblings. He was the grandson of the late Louis Downey and Lucy Josey Downey, who were among the first settlers in Sealy, Texas.
Hugh was united in holy matrimony to the late Rosea Lee Hardrick on October 20, 1925 in Sealy, Texas. They were happily married for over 80 years. To this union they were blessed with three daughters, Doris Mathis (Willie -deceased), Ottman Johnson (Aaron Perry -deceased), and Huretta Larkin (Jack-deceased). He was blessed with eight (8) grandchildren, Dalvy (Barbara) Mathis, Jacqueline Larkin, Aaron Johnson Jr., Toa Perot, Montra (Gerry) Allen, Hugh Larkin, Torgy Garcia, and Rhonda Larkin; 10 great-grandchildren, Julian Lyons, Meghan Lyons, Jared Lyons, Berchelle (Terrance) Haynes, Brandon Perot, Whitney Larkin, Brittany Allen, Javier Garcia, Rolando Mathis, and Ryan Garcia; five (5) great-great-grandchildren, Julian C. Lyons, Jordyn Lyons, Mia Lyons, Tyrell Perot, and Ta'kiyah Perot, who affectionately called him Pa Pa.
Mr. Anderson was a lifetime resident of Sealy, Texas. He was a devoted husband, loving father, and grandfather. He resided on Anderson Street which was named after him during the 1930's. During the 1940's, he became an entrepreneur and opened Hugh's Dry Cleaners, the first dry cleaners in Katy, Texas. He had a very successful business for 50 years. Upon his retirement from the dry cleaning business, he relaxed by fishing in his ponds and spending time with his beloved family. He loved to drive his 1968 classic Toronado Oldsmobile.

Anderson, Louella Elizabeth (Smalley) (1924-2015)
Maiden Name: Smalley [Family] Father: Willie Smalley, Mother: Violet, Spouse: Leslie "Jim" Anderson Sr [Cemetery] Dotson Cemetery () , FG
Louella Elizabeth Smalley Anderson was born at home on Dec. 22, 1924, to Willie and Violet Smalley in Sealy, Texas. Her birth came six years after World War I ended and five years be-fore the Great Depression began.
The Smalleys then lived on ranch land out near the current Sealy High School, and a walk to the Austin County Colored School occasionally meant having to cross a pasture and elude the bull in it. If she and her siblings got a lift into town, it was on their father's wagon.
The Smalley's eventually moved into town, where Louella graduated from school. She married Leslie "Jim" Anderson on Nov. 29, 1943, at the Austin County Courthouse. He had enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Sill, so the newly married couple moved to Lawton, Okla., and shared an apartment with another couple from Sealy.
Louella returned to Sealy when she learned that she was pregnant with the first of the couple's 10 children. In order of succession, they are Leslie Jr., Maurice, Richard, Glenn, Rose, Steven, David, Lance, Cathie and Lewis.
Neither husband nor wife ever learned to drive an automobile, but that didn't stop them from finding and maintaining steady work to support their family. Louella worked part-time as a house-maid, and Jim full-time as a carpenter.
Seven of the couple's children went on to college and three served in the U.S. military. As children, they would often ask their mother's age and marvel at her reply: "16." They could never find a birth certificate to confirm this, and later in life when Louella went in search of her birth certificate, she found that one had never been recorded.
Born when Calvin Coolidge was president, Louella would see 15 more U.S. presidents in her time, including the nation's first African-American president.
Louella is welcomed into paradise by her husband, her sons Maurice and Steve, her grandson Maurice, her parents and her siblings Helen Jones, Willie Mae Robinson, Clarence Smalley, Melvin Smalley, Marjorie Womack, Gloria Johnson, and Vivian Daniels. She is survived by sisters Ora Lene Kesee and Evelyn Smalley, eight children, 22 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.

In the last six years, he started growing a vegetable garden. He loved to work the soil and tend the tiny plants until they took over the yard. He shared his bounty with family members, friends, and neighbors.

Anderson, Simeon Asa (1800-1850)
SFA Old 300, Notable person [Veteran] Early Wars () , FS
Received title on August 10, 1824, to a league of land now in Fayette County.
We don't have a file for S. A. Anderson and after looking into him a bit, I can see why. I found him in Paul Spellman's Old 300, Gone to Texas. Paul wrote that Anderson came to Texas from Alexandria, Louisiana with his wife and three children. Paul states that the league granted to him was on the Colorado River just below Moore's fort, but it's actually about halfway between Moore's fort, later La Grange, and the Colorado County line. Evidently, he had trouble raising money he had promised Austin and ended up returning to Louisiana. He sold his entire league to James J. Ross in 1828. Spellman refers to him as Simeon, but both his land grant and the deed to Ross are for Simon Anderson.

Retired Lieutenant Col in the Army, was struck and killed by an auto while visiting in Indianapolis, IN.
Anna and her brother John Charles Andrake both have their year of birth listed as 1894 which you find on several documents. They were not twins. I believe one of them is incorrect and that either one of them were sure of what year exactly they were born as their mother died when they were very young. No official birth certificate has been found of either one.
