I
attended Federal Douglass Elementary School in Kansas City,
Missouri, on the West Side. In 1921 I attended Fredrick Douglas
Elementary (Principal Leslie F. Clark) at 27th & Jarboe.
1924, we brought a pretty new house on the East Side, and I
went to Chrispus Attucks Elementary School (Principal W. Harrison).
Directly across the street from the elementary school was Centennial
M.E. Church (Rev. Lee & Rev. Mackey), where my father was
a Sunday School teacher and also the Superintendent of the Sunday
School. At the time we move to the East Side, I was in the third
grade.
Early in the twenties, we marched the house to the musicals
marches of John Philip Souza. We all loved music. My dad took
us to see the opening of the Liberty Memorial in Penn Valley
Park. He also read stories of the Bible to us, and the comic
section of the Kansas City Star. At Christmas he would take
us to Convention Hall, at 13th and Central, for the Christmas
party for children. In 1936 Convention Hall became Municipal
Auditorium. My parents would also take us to picnics at Swope
Park and to the zoo there. We had everything, toys, candy, silent
movies and love for each other.
But my parents had a troubled, stormy marriage and finally separated.
My mother moved to Los Angeles and they were divorced.
The Great Depression hit us hard. We lost our pretty little
house and had to move back to our not-so-pretty house on the
West Side. My dad lost his job at the American Radiator Company
where he had worked for over ten years. He was able to work
at the Piermont Hotel on Broadway as a bellboy and porter, working
form tips only on the night ship. But he took care of us.
In 1937, I married my high school sweetheart, Lorene Harriette
Miller. We are still married and have two sons, Ronald Sylvan
Anderson, born June 1937 and Marshal Dean Anderson born November
1938. |
I was born to Willia Al Hunt Anderson and John David Franklin
Anderson. Born July, 1916 in Kansas City Missouri - the first
of three children of the union.
I had two sisters, Edonia and Lee Edna. Later, I had two brothers,
John C. Hensley, born to my mother and her second husband; and
Theadus John Anderson, my father's son. Edmonia, Lee Edna and
I grew up together in Kansas City. The others grew up in separate
environments from us.
My mother was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 1897. My
dad was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 1893. They were
married in 1915 in Memphis, Tennessee. |

I attended Wendell Phillips Elementary School (Principal Cox),
24th and Vine Streets, Kansas City, Missouri and Lincoln High
School from which I graduated in June of 1935.
I had two wonderful parents whom I loved very much and received
the same love from them. I attended Vine Street Baptist Church
in Kansas City, Missouri and later joined Ebenezer A.M.E. Church.
On January 18, 1937, I married Carl Sylvan Anderson - - MY LOVER
MAN!
In 1943, we moved to Vancouver, Washington and later to Portland,
Oregon. We stayed in Portland until after the War and then went
back to Kansas City. We later moved to San Francisco, California
where we had lived ever since 1947.

Willia
Hensley
Mother
of
Sylvan, Edmonia, and Lee Edna Anderson,
and John Hensley.
|
Willia
was a seamstress/tailor and she had her own business for years
in Los Angeles and later in San Diego, California. During the
World War II Era, she and John moved to Redwood City, California
where she went to work at the Veterans Hospital for the U.S.
Government in neighboring Menlo Park as a seamstress/tailor.
At the end of the War, they moved to San Francisco, California
where she went to work at the Presidio. She again opened up
her own business, and kept it until she had to retire once again
due to failing eyesight. She was a seamstress/tailor for over
eighty years. She was affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventist
church until ill health prevented her from attending services.
She made most of her children's clothing since she was a tailor
- - especially in their younger years. She was a devoted mother
and a very loving, caring person, a strong believer in God and
in treating everyone as she would like to have been treated,
and she taught her children to do likewise. In 1926, before
she and John Anderson separated, she brought a player piano
for her three children for them to learn to play music. She
went to work at Dunlap Laundry in Kansas City in order to accumulate
enough money to send for her mother, Sarah Hunt, and her three
young children to come to Kansas City from Memphis.
She passed away in June of 1994 at the age of 97, ending a rare
phenomenon of a living six-generation family, and carrying with
her a lifetime of love and devotion from family and friends.
It was hard to let her go, but God's will must be done, and
He felt it was time for her to go. She had lived a good, clean,
Christian life. He let her live to a ripe old age. Few of us
ever match her longevity, but she did it with grace, love and
dignity, for which we were all very thankful and also grateful
that we had her as our mother for so many years. |
Willia
Al Hunt Anderson Hensley was born in Memphis, Tennessee on April
10, 1897 to Sara Patterson Hunt and Major Hunt, the fourth of

Sarah Patterson Hunt
|
Sarah
Patterson married Major Hunt, whose father was Lenzie Hunt of
Memphis. They had a good life and had 13 children. Two were
still born.
One day Major went fishing, as he very often did, in a creek
near their home. Somehow the fishing boat capsized and he was
thrown into the water. He swallowed a lot of polluted water,
from which he never recovered, leaving Sarah with 11 children
to raise alone.
It
was very difficult for her, but she was a good hardworking industrious
woman and a seamstress. These assets helped her make a living
for her family. She was strong, with a steadfast belief in God,
to help her make it through.
In later years, she came to Kansas City, Missouri and with the
help of my mother, brought her three youngest children to join
her. The older ones were either grown or dead by that time.
She still had to work very hard to support her young children.
Later, two her older daughters, who were grown joined her in
Kansas City. They were Sarah Hunt Stinnett and Hattie Hunt Dawkins.
One son, Major stayed in Memphis and the oldest son, Lenzie,
moved to St. Louis. Mary, Josephine and Clarence all died as
young adults in Memphis.
Sarah Hunts Son, George Hunt, Musician was a Trombone Player.
He played in Kansas City with Count Basie and Earl Hines. He
was shot and killed in Chicago in 1944.
Sarah Patterson Hunt led a good Christian life and was well
respected and loved by all who know her. Her death on March
15, 1951, was a blow to us all, but we took solace in the fact
that she had lived a full, productive life, and we were thankful
that we had her for our grandmother. |
|
Sarah
Patterson Hunt, our maternal grandmother, was born circa 1870,
in Memphis Tennessee. Her mother was Frances Colicur Patterson,
a Sioux Indian, who married a Black Man, Will Patterson. They
had two children, Will and Sarah. Frances spend a lot of time
on the Indian Reservation after her children were grown and
her husband had died. One of my mother's (Willia Hunt) most
vivid memories was waving good-bye to her grandmother Frances
as she returned to the reservation after spending time with
her children and grandchildren from time to time.
