General Notes

[coosa1.ged]
From newspaper clipping given to my wife, Eunice Rose (Anderton) Bridges,
from her sister, Helen Francis (Anderton) Christian.
Betty Lee Anderton, 93
She never went to a doctor and didn't believe in taking medicine, but
Betty Lee Anderton was still able to keep house for herself until she
died Sunday in her home at Grant. She was 93.
She was the widow of Charlie Anderton, who died in 1947. She had
lived just about all her life on Grant Mountain or in the Hebron
community. After his death she lived in a trailer next to the home of a
niece, Oma Parks. At times some of her relatives stayed with her and
looked after her.
She was a member of the Grassy Mountain Free Holiness Church at Mt.
Pleasant. She enjoyed quilting until her eyes got too bad.
She is survived by 2 of her sons, Rev. Billy Anderton of Scottsboro
and Howard Anderton of Huntsville; 4 daughters, Mrs. Maude Morton of
Rossville, Ga., Mrs. Vera Caldwell of Buck Island, Mrs. Estell Brazelton
of Guntersville and Mrs. Lila Godson (shoud be Dobson: typing error) of
Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga.; 22 grandchildren; a number of great-grandchildren;
one sister, Mrs. Mary Saint of Grant; a brother, Watson Ledbetter of
Grant; and a half-brother, Thomas Anderton of Grant.
Her funeral was Tuesday at the Scottsboro Funeral Home with Rev.
Charlie Guinn and Rev. Eli Smith officiating. Burial was in Walker
Cemetery near Hebron.
Grandsons were pallbearers.
