OBITUARY OF ANNIE TACKETT ANDERSON: born February 18, 1895, in Rock House Fork of Caney Creek departed this life April 13, 1977 at the age of 82 years 1month and 25 days. She was the daughter of James and Mary Ann Martin Tackett. Her husband Hiram Anderson preceded her in death June 12, 1964. He died in Ann Arbor, MI. Also two infant sons, Virgil and Noble died in infancy and Joseph Cecil died March 28, 1971 of a heart attack. She leaves to mourn her passing three sons, James Edgar of Bowling Green, OH, Thomas Maxwell and Nolen both of MI. Six daughters, Elise Husdon, June Sanders of Ashcamp, Kentucky, Viola Mullins, Esther Reece, Ethel Brock all of MI, Clara Baker of OK. Two sisters, Gracie Little and Virgie Hamilton, 49 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a host of friends. Annie was blessed with a long useful life. she was a loving mother, a good homemaker, a splendid wife for over 53 years and a kind and thoughtful neighbor. Hiram and Annie never turned away a stranger that needed food or shelter nor a child. Annie had a winsome smile even though she didn't talk too much. A pleasing personality which won her a large circle of friends. For over 20 years she belonged to and was a member of Hylton Regular Baptist Church and she loved to refresh her soul by worshiping in God's house. Her faith and her Christian charter was reflected in her daily living. Her love and devotion to her family cannot be measured. She has left a portion of herself in each of them and many other lives have been made richer and fuller because she passed their way. Her great mother heart is reflected in the following lines. She always leaned to watch for us. anxious if we were late in winter by the window, in summer by the gate. Her thoughts were all so full of us she never could forget. And so I think that where she is, she must be watching yet. Waiting till we come home, anxious if we are late. Watching from Heavens window, leaning from Heavens gate.
