| Notes |
- Anson, better known as Jiggs, attended a country school with his seven siblings in Bethel, Texas before finishing up in Burnet. He remembers his father going to town and coming back with a loaf of bread. It was considered a real treat and they would put the bread in milk, which would be the evening meal. It remained one of his favorites all through his life. Anson worked on ranches in West Texas until his son was of school age. Since the ranch was 50 miles from Sanderson, they moved into town where he began work for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a brakeman. He retired in 1975 after working 33 years without an accident. He was a conductor at the time of his retirement as the line went from Sanderson to El Paso. He joined the Masonic Lodge in 1943 and was very active. He was appointed District Deputy Grand Master. He chose not to go any further than the third degree, but rather learn the secret work and laws. He received a certificate in the secret work and taught all the new members. He memorized the funeral service, and went whenever he was asked to perform a funeral. Anson was issued a life membership from the Lodge in Sanderson when he moved. One of the members he taught was Graham Childress, whom Jiggs specially asked to perform at his funeral.
