Mr. Anthony later engaged in the stock buying business, which vocation he was engaged in before coming to Centralia and the details of which he was thoroughly posted. He became one of the most widely known stock buyers in this section.
Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his loss four children, namely; L. C, Jr. of Richmond, Indiana; Mrs. Emmet Barrett, of Sedalia, Mo; Thomas Jefferson of East St. Louis and Mrs. Cleveland Brown, of near Gant, MO. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence Monday, July 9, by Elder Floyd M. Edwards, after which the body was intered in the city cemetery. Two brothers, Lee, of St. Louis and T.

He leaves a host of friends and relatives in and around Centralia who join the Guard in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
