Carl Sylvan Anderson
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.



Lorene Harriette Miller Anderson

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 thirteen children. She married Jo9hn David Franklin Anderson in 1915. They moved around quite a bite following his occupation as a cook with various laor camps that were helping to build the railroads. They finally settled in Kansas City, Missouri, where they had three children: Carl Sylvan, Edmonia, and Lee Edna Margaret.

They had a very unhappy, troubled marriaged and years later finally separated. Willia movedto Los Angeles, California, where she eventually remarried. Her husband John Bernad Hensley. They had a son, John Clarence Hensley, born in 1936.

Geraldine & Robert Summer

John Clarence Hensley, was born on April 27, 1936 to Willia Hunt Hensley and John Bernard Hensley in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from Galileo High School in San Francisco. As a child, his interests were music, movies and baseball. He played baseball from childhood until 27 years of age.

He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force shortly after graduation from high school. He stayed in for nine years and was honorably discharged on October 7, 1963. He pursued music as a hobby while in the Air Force. He married Josephine Orton in Leiscester, England in 1965 and divorced her in San Francisco in 1967. The couple had no children.

John pursued his education after leaving the Air Force in San Francisco and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from San Francisco State University in 1971 after attending San Francisco City College for two years. During this time he was employed full-time at United Air Lines. He also took courses in radio and television production and speech.


John Clarence Hensley - Film Actor
John was member of the Film Actor's Academy, San Francisco Branch, and had roles in several major productions including "All the President's Men", "Six Million Dollar Man," and a documentary, "Social Advocates for Youth." He also also made several other films before deciding to focus on Human Services rather than continuing in films and entertainment.

John worked in Human Services from 1972 to the present time. His work consist of helping and counseling veterans, County Jail prisoners, mental patients, among other endeavors. While serving the economically disadvantages with the Bay Area Urban League, he received the "Employee of the Year" award in April of 1984 for work accomplished in San Francisco. He is presently employed by the County of Alameda, Oakland Office, as a social worker in "In-Home Supportive Services" unit for seniors and disabled adults.





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.



Theadus John Anderson
Theadus John Anderson was born to Mosselover Brown and John David Franklin Anderson on August 9, 1938, in Kansas City, Missouri, the fourth child of Mosselover and also the fourth child of John. Theadus was raised by his grandmother, Kathie Brown, a Creek Indian, who also raised his older brother, Dennis Huggins, and a younger brother, Stewart A. Minor. He had a younger sister, Mosselover Givon, who is deceased. He also has a sister, Ida Stickland, and a younger brother, Kenneth Reed. These are Mosselover's other children. On his father's side, he has one brother, Carl Sylvan Anderson, and two sisters, Edmonia Anderson Brooks and Lee Edna Anderson Rollins.

Theadus married Ruby Lee Thomas of Monroe, Louisiana in June 1957, after finishing Charles Sumner High School in Kansas City, Kansas where he has spent most of his life. Before marriage, he was employed by the U.S. Post Office for three years. They lived for awhile in Chicago, Illinois, where Theadus worked as a machine operator, an injection molder, and a machinist.
They moved back to Kansas City, Kansas in 1969 after living in Chicago for nine years. After returning to Kansas City, Kanss, he went to work for Fairbanks and Morse Pump Company as a machinist. He left Fairbanks in 1988 to work as a mechanic for Trans World Airlines wehre he is presently employed.
