Funeral services for Jack Anderson, 82, who died Saturday morning at Fort Lyon, Colorado, were conducted from Sixth Street Church of Christ at 10 a.m. Monday. C.J. Horton, local preacher, was assisted by Ebb Randol, Farwell, in conducting the services.
He was born August 4, 1885 at Mullin, Texas, and came to the West Texas-Eastern New Mexico area when he was 13. His first home was at Portales and later he became a cowboy for the famed XIT Ranch.
Anderson and Hattie Bell Berry, who survives, were married at Farwell July 14, 1922 and moved from Hereford to Friona five years later. Since that time he has operated a barber shop here.
For a number of years his shop has been located on the east side of Main Street just north of Reeve Chevrolet. He continued working until ill health forced him to go into semi-retirement. He continued working on a limited basis until a few weeks ago.
Survivors, besides his wife, include a daughter, Mrs. Mary Jo Costalow, Pasadena, Texas, and two grandchildren.
Honorary pallbearers were Ed Boggess, Glenn E. Reeve Sr., Dan Ethridge, ElRoy Wilson, Clyde Goodwine, and G. Cranfill. Active pallbearers were Otey Hinds, Rosco Ivie, Henry White, Frank Spring, Ancel Renner and C.L. Lillard.
Burial was in Friona Cemetery under direction of Claborn Funeral Home.
