James was a resident of Terrell and died there 05 Apr 1951 of a heart attack. I'm hoping he had an obituary and that I can get a transctipt of it to see who his surviving kinfolk were...

My heartfelt thanks for any help or suggestions,

Did you get your answer on Uncle J.T ? His First son is Paul then married again and second wife-{died very young} they had four Children--Thomas--Marlene--Jerry and the youngest Robert--Bob is a Dentist in Dallas.. My Mom knows where most of them are and there middle names...My father was J.Ts youngest brother and he died in 78 at the age of 62.. Aunt Billie died a few years ago..She raised J.Ts Children.. I think Bob was 2 when his Mom died

This abstract of James Thomas ANDERSON's obituary proves he did indeed 3rd marry Katherine Louise [SIRAK] and had children Kathleen Ann and Mark as shown in the TX birth birth index online.

His son Paul Norwood ANDERSON was by James' 1st marriage to wife unknown.
His children James T Jr, Gerald Michael, Maurine Theresa, and Robert Allen were by his 2nd wife Margaret Mary [O'GRADY] per the TX birth index online.

James' sisters Willie Louise [ANDERSON] BATES and Rose Mary [ANDERSON] Stanley are deceased; his brother Charles Lenoir ANDERSON is also deceased.

I have not yet verified if Mrs Katherine Louise [SIRAK] ANDERSON was the daughter of Maxin SIRAK and Margaret [Unknown] and my only reason for thinking so is because I could not find another Catherine/Kathryn [SIRAK] on the 1930 US census...........

At this time, I have no additional information on Catherine/Kathryn [SIRAK] ANDERSON or her two children.
