Lila LEE (P.O. Box 118, Stites, ID 83552) recently submitted a query regarding Philip, Clingman, and Clint Leftric ANDERSON in Missouri and Benton County, AR. While she didn't receive replies from any ANDERSON descendants, Lila did get a nice letter form Lucy SIMS, a reader in Bentonville, who remembers Clingman ANDERSON from her childhood at Jane, McDonald County, MO. Clingman lived about six miles east of Jane.
Mrs. SIMS related to Lila that Clingman ANDERSON and her father were good friends in the period 1913-1918. Everyone called Clingman "Pappy" ANDERSON. Mrs. SIMS said that Clingman had four daughters: Ama, Ada, Nola, and Ola. She did not recall that there were any boys. Are descendants of this family still in the area? Lila LEE would love to learn more about her Ozark ancestors!
And thank you Lucy SIMS for sharing your memories with our friend in Idaho!
