HAS NEW HOME
Widow of Ex-Soldier
Comfortably Settled
As a result of the generosity of residents of Burnie and neighbouring districts, Mrs. Anderson, widow of the late Mr. L. J. Anderson, a returned soldier,whose death occurred a few months ago, is now comfortably settled with her eight children in a cosy home at Montello. After the death of Mr. Anderson a public fund was opened and subscriptions came in from many centres, £436 being raised. This went towards thepurchase of a modern six-roomed house. The committee of the Burnie branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A. interested themselves actively, and Mrs. Anderson isnow in receipt of a weekly pension which is sufficient to meet the requirements of herself and her large family. The official ceremony of handing over the house was performedyesterday, when the Warden (Mr. J.R Hilder) presented Mrs. Anderson with the keys. from The Examiner (Launceston) 06 November 1936 (trove.nla.gov.au)
