Claude was a large, stocky man. It was more than one Claude Anderson in the area and he was known as the Claude.
Claud was drafted into the army in World War I. When he got to town to report for duty, the man at the courthouse told the group, "boys the words over and you can go back home."
On February 7, 1920, Claude married Manila Thomas. They had no children. Claude was a likable man with a good sense of humor, and was a favorite of his many nieces and nephews.
He lived in Dawson County, Georgia, on old highway 19 at the Lumpkin County line. Many times on Sunday, he would walk to Dawsonville to take food to his mother-in-law. Claude like the outdoors and like to hunt.
He was an excellent shot and once hit a fruit jar lid nailed on the side of his chicken house from a distance of 70 steps with a 22 rifle with straight sights.
Claude was a farmer and the sawmiller. He also worked for the highway department at one time. Manila worked printing the Dawson county advertiser newspaper with her sister, Maude.
Claud was shot to death at his home May 31, 1967. Manila died in 1985. They are buried at the Dawsonville city cemetery.
