Son of Dr. Anson and Mary Jones
Cromwell Anson, studious from his earliest childhood, determined to qualify himself for the practice of law, and in 1871 went to Houston for that purpose. Cromwell Anson, the young lawyer, had speedily acquired great popularity and had been for some years Judge of the County Court of Harris county, respected for his virtues, admitted for his talents, endowed with gifts which would have guaranteed him a prominent place in the affairs of the State. Everything seemed to promise a tranquil, happy old age to his mother, whose delight was in his congenial society. But on January 19, 1888, death removed him from their family circle, where he was the idol. To use his mother's own words, "In the midst of his usefulness, in the bloom of young manhood, he was called from labor below to labor above, in that better life. Oh, the blackness of that pall of sorrow I held in my heart of hearts, as one, apart from all other beings, so thoughtful, so gentle had he ever been in bestowing filial care upon an aged mother."(Source: History of Texas Biographical History of the Cities of Houston and Galveston (1895)
