    ANDERSON- In this city, Thursday, June 17, 1886, at 6 a.m., of dysentery, Hannah, wife of Capt. John Anderson, aged 61 years, 2 months and 15 days.  Mrs. Anderson was a native of Pottsville, Pa., moved to New Orleans in 1844 and was married to a Mr. Yung the following year.  In 1846 she lost her husband and in 1851 she married Capt. John Anderson.  In 1853 the family came to Corpus Christi.  Mrs. Anderson was a member of the Methodist church from which house the funeral took place Thursday evening.  The good lady led a Christian’s life, was a kind mother and devoted wife.  She leaves a sorrow-stricken husband and seven children-five sons and two daughters, Mr. Yung, the city clerk, being the eldest –to mourn her death.  The afflicted family have the sympathies of the entire community.
