Read More	Frank O. Anderson The body of Frank O. Anderson was brought to Newton Tuesday from Sapulpa, Okla., and a private funeral service was conducted at the Sprinkler Mortuary this morning at 10 o'clock by the Rev. A. R. Hardy, pastor of the Baptist church. Interment was made in Greenwood Cemetery. The case of "Orrie" Anderson is peculiarly strange and sad. He came of fine family, was unusually keen mentally, though not robust physically. He was high strung tempermentally, independent in his disposition, and estranged himself from his family years ago, when he was remonstrated with about gaming, and he told relatives that he would go away, that they would not hear of him again, and would not even know when not where he died. About two weeks ago, a man who for many years had posed as a woman by the name of Frances Anderson, "champion woman billiard player," committed suicide in a hotel at Sapulpa, Okla. Descriptions of the man, after his sex was disclosed, aroused the interest of relatives of "Orie Anderson who lived here. Mrs W.D. May is a sister, Joy Anderson is a brother, and another brother George, lives in San Francisco. Mrs. May finally went to Sapulpa to endeavor to identify the body, and was convinced that "Francis" Anderson was her estranged brother. She had letters and a postal card received from him some 18 years ago, and when compared by experts, the writing was declared to be the same as recent writing known to have been done by the dead man. So positive was the identification established, that the body was turned over to her and other relatives by the authorities at Sapulpa, and was shipped here to Sprinker Mortuary. Numerous Newton people remember Orie Anderson when he lived here and although it had been years since any of them had seen; several who saw him at the mortuary have declared without hesitancy that they are convinced that the person who has posed as Frances Anderson is none other than Orie. His peculiarly shaped nose in unmistakable, his high cheek bones, high forehead, the effeminate size and shape of his hands, his size,apparent age, his hand-writing, the name he adopted, the calling he was in - every detail is absolutely convincing and positive in the identification. As Frances Anderson, he was here about six weeks ago and gave an exhibition at one of the local billiard parlors, and his conduct at that time, now that the strange developments have become known, were exactly like that of Orie Anderson. He was nervous, quick, silent, but he still showed his old time skill. He stated that he had been traveling the country giving exhibitions for many years, and no one who saw him disguised as a woman here had the least thought but what he was what he posed to be. It is a sad, strange case, and while the sympathy of all will go out to those of this family remaining, there is a satisfied joy in the knowledge that the wayward boy has at last been found, even though in death, and those notwithstanding, his doubtful career and estrangement of years, the tenderness and compassion of sisterly and brotherly love was available for the last rites in his behalf which was possible for human hands.
