Obituary
WILLIAM R. ANDERSON
William Robert Anderson, son
of O. R. and Mary Billings An
derson, was left an orphan at the
age of 12 years. He was taken
by an aunt, Mrs. Cleo McMillan,
and remained with her until April
30, 1943, at which time he was
called to the armed service. He
received his training at Camp
Shelby, Mississippi, as a combat
infantryman. Later he joined the
378th Regiment of the 95th In
fantry Division. He participated
in the battle of Northern France
and the Rhineland and was
wounded twice. In the German
break of Mitz he was taken pris
oner of war and was liberated by
the Russians about six months
later. For his distinguished ser
vice in the armed service he re
ceived: American Theatre Ser
vice Medal, European-African
Middle Eastern Service Medal,
the purple heart with one bronze
oak leaf cluster and the disting
uished unit badge.
Following liberation he was
honorably discharged with rank
of Corporal at Fort Lewis, Wash
ington, November 6, 1945, and
returned again to the home of his
aunt, to make his home.
He was born August 6, 1923
and was accidentally killed June
22, 1946. His age being 22 years,
10 months* and 16 days. He is
survived by a sister, Mrs. Welter
Ray Maxwell, two aunts, Mrs.
Cleo McMillan, with whom he
made his home, and Mrs. Lula
Jones; two uncles, R. L. Billing
of Winston-Salem, and P. B. Bill
ings of Toughkenamon, Pennsyl
vania.
I cannot say, I will not say,
That he is dead, he is just away,
With a cheery smile, and a wave
of the hand,
As he wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair,
It needs must be, since he li^pro
there,
And you oh you, who the wildest
yearn,
For the old time and glad rdturn.
Think of him faring on as dear,
In the love of there as the love
of here,
Mild and gentle as he was brave,
When the sweetest love of his
life he' gaVe.
To simple things where the violets
grew,
Pure as the eyes they were liken
ed to,
The touches of his hands have
strayed,
As reverently as his lips have
prayed,
j When the little brown thrush that
harshly, chirred,
Was Dear to him as the mocking
•‘bird, :
And he pitied as much as a man
in pain, '
A writhing honey-bee wet with
rain,. ,, , ,
Think of him still as the same
I say, j
He is not‘dead—he is just away.
