His mother was Martha Shepherd, born in OH. - Cassville, First 150 Years By Senator Emery Melton - Andrew Jackson Anderson, came to Cassville during the Civil War, married here and reared six sons. No history of Cassville would be complete without a mention of this family. Bert Anderson, the long-time engineer of the Cassville and Exeter RR, was probably a nephew of Andrew Jackson Anderson. Andrew Jackson, who died Sept. 1924, left six sons, James W.; Daniel; Charles; Virgil; Sherman; and Jack. None of the six were community leaders nor did they amass a lot of property. They were simply good, honest, law abiding and upright members of the community. As was the custom in the first part of this century, some of the brothers acquired nicknames by which they were commonly known. Charles was one who was a good conversationalist filled with a great deal of humor. At one time he reputedly operated a small eating place on the east side of Main Street, just off Gravel Street in the Smith-Hayes Addition in the north part of Cassville. Early in this century, two adjacent landowners south of Chili's residence experienced difficulty in deciding where the property line was and this resulted in each building a fence with a space in between. the space was very narrow and Chili dubbed the results as "the tick lane", only wide enough for a tick to negotiate. A man named Brooks lived on the corner of Hwy 37 and 16th St. just east of the Anderson home. Chili did not own an automobile, and since he visited downtown almost every day, he frequently caught a ride north up Main St., which was the highway. The driver always asked where Chili wanted to get out of the car (even if the driver knew) and Chili's answer was always the same. "Just let me out at the Brooks crossing north of tick lane. The Mayor of Burlington and I took over in 1914 when there was not a thing there, but blue racer snakes and lightening bugs and ????on a paying basis. Virgil, Affectionally known as "Soldier" was a handyman during his long life. He lived and died as a bachelor. Virgil, (known as Dock) was a white-haired nice looking man who served as City Collector for many years. He and his ??? live on a 40 acre farm north of the railroad tracks adjacent to the west city limits. Jack Anderson, the youngest of the family, known as "little Jack" in later life went to LA where he operated a rice farm. | Death Certificate Marriages Donna Cooper 150 Years Phyllis Long Photo BCG and HS |

A short time after her marriage to Robert Atkisson in 1898, her health began to fail and for the past two years she had been a constant sufferer. Everything known made of science was done for her, but it became evident that her life was slowly ebbing away. Upon consultation it was decided to take her to St. Louis where an operation was performed. AT first the indications were hopeful, but only for a short time. The relapse came and she sank into that sleep that knows no earthly awakening. The remains were brought to Cassville, Friday morning and the funeral services held at 8:30 p.m. the Cassville Band of which the grief stricken husband, was a member, attended the services and escorted the cortege to the church and from there to the cemetery. Rev. Cocharan delivered a beautiful eulogy to the memory of the departed. The deceased was well known and dearly loved. She was an estimable lady of rare attainments.
