Anders, Arthur Edgar "Tex"
Naval Hero Anders Dead at Age 95
Arthur "Tex" Anders, 95, a Weimar native who was a Naval hero died Sunday, Aug. 27 after a brief illness in Rancho Bernardo, Calif.
Interment was scheduled in Rosecrans National Cemetery.
Anders was born Oct. 2, 1903 in Weimar to Frank and Annie Anders. He attended school in Weimar and nearby Flatonia before entering the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland in 1923.
After graduation and commissioning in 1927, he served on various large naval combatants in the waters around Central America and later on the South China Station.
It was while his ship was in the Cavite, PI Naval yard for repairs that he met and married Muriel Adams Anders whose father was the U.S. yard civilians superintendent.
Their son, William, a graduate of the Naval Academy and Apollo 8 astronaut, was born in Hong Kong in 1933 during Tex's first tour on the Yangtze River Patrol made famous by the Steve McQueen movie San Pebbles.
It was in 1937, during his second tour on the Patrol, that then Lt. Anders earned international fame as a key player in a major incident and precursor to World War II -- the sinking of the USS Panay.
On Dec. 12, 1937 the large US river gun boat, Panay, was escorting some American oil tankers up the Yangtze and collecting U.S. and allied civilians threatened by the rapidly advancing Japanese Army during the time of the "Rape of Nanking" in the Sino-Japanese War. Late in the morning, lookouts spotted an approaching formation of Japanese heavy bombers. Though the U.S. was not a combatant in these battles and the Panay was clearly marked with U.S. insignia and flags, the Captain called the crew to "General Quarters" and manned the bridge himself as a precautionary measure.
Anders, the Executive Officer and next senior officer aboard, took his battle station on the gun deck.
Suddenly, and without warning, bombs fell about the ship, one striking the bridge and gravely injuring the captain and crew stationed there. Anders, though wounded himself in the hands and throat, took over command of the ship and ordered "open fire," probably the first American Naval officer to do so against the Japanese.
Anders' shrapnel hole through his throat prevented him from speaking, yet he direct the crew by writing orders on a navigational chart, first in blood and then in pencil (the chart is on display in the Naval Museum in Washington, D. C.).
Though weakened by loss of blood during the battle, Anders continued until it was obvious that the Panay had been mortally wounded and was about to go under. He then ordered "abandon ship."
The Japanese strafed the departing lifeboats and later searched along the shore, but the crew was able to hide in the tall weeds and was rescued ten days later with the loss of only one crew and an Italian journalist.
For his valor during the battle Anders was awarded the Navy Cross, the highest honor allowable in "peacetime" and the Purple Heart.
This "incident" as it was called was a somber foreshadowing of Japanese intentions in Asia and the Pacific, yet the United States elected to let it pass with nothing more than diplomatic protests.
Complications from Anders' wounds led to his early retirement from the Navy just prior to World War II.
But, while still on convalescent leave in San Diego, he was recalled to duty when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He then spent the bulk of the war as the Personnel Officer of the U. S. Naval Training Center in San Diego while he and his family resided in the nearby LaMesa area.
At war's end, he was retired again and returned to his central Texas hometown area of Weimar and LaGrange.
After a two-year business venture with his brother, the family returned to the Southern California area (LaMesa) where Tex joined the California Department of Motor Vehicles, first as a license examiner and later as an investigator.
He retired from state employment in the seventies and devoted full time to his Mt. Helix avocado grove and as foreman of the San Diego Grand Jury (1972). He moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1992.
Tex Anders is survived by his brother, Edgar "Smiles" Anders of LaGrange; son M/G William Anders USAF (Ret.) of Deer Harbor, Wash.; his six grandchildren, Alan (LaMesa, Calif.), Glen (Boise, Idaho), Gayle Nuffer (Pt. Loma, Calif.), Gregory (Maj. USAFR, Boise, Idaho), Eric (Pasadena, Calif.) and Diana (London); six great-grandchildren and his very special friend, Marian Hamburg (Rancho Bernardo, Calif.).
In lieu of usual remembrances, donations may be sent to the U.S. Naval Academy fund, Annapolis, MD.

SUICIDE IDENTIFIED
On July 12 of the present year the body of an unknown man was found hanging to the limb of a tree near Glidden. Colorado County officers made a strong but unsuccesful attempt to locate the relatives of the deceased, and finally had the body interred in Colorado County a few days later. Recently the family of Ad. Ling, failing to hear from Mrs. Ling's father, F. J. Anders, who left here on the date mentioned to visit a sister at High Hill, began to inquire as to his whereabouts, and after failing to locate him, some one suggested that he look into the suicide of the unknown man at Glidden which happened about the time that Mr. Anders departed for High Hill.
Tuesday morning Mr. Ling visited Columbus and the sheriff, positively identifying his father-in-law's hat and pocket knife. [Burial place unknown]

Anders, Ferdinand
Another Good Citizen Claimed by Death
Again has Death invaded the ranks of our citizenship and taken therefrom a splendid, good man. Sunday morning, after an illness extending over many weeks, the soul of that good man and citizen of our community for so many years, Mr. Ferdinand Anders, Sr., was wafted to that heavenly home above, there to meet and greet his loved ones gone on before. Many hearts were saddened over his death, for he had lived among us for so long a time and his kindly greeting will be greatly missed. The funeral took place at St. Michael's Cemetery Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, after religious services were held at the church by his late pastor, Rev. Jos. Szymanski. A large crowd was in attendance at the funeral and sorrow was written on every face. Truly a good man had passed from among us.
Active pall bearers at the funeral were as follows; Messrs. Henry J. Laas, Edmund Barta, Frank Wick, Anton Beck, Jr., Emil Gold and Henry Seifert.
Ferdinand Anders was born in Moravia April 15, 1846, and was 83 years, 7 months and 2 days of age at the time of his death. He came to this country in 1870, landing at Galveston. From that point he came by train as far as Columbus, with his three brothers. From Columbus the four brothers walked to High Hill. Mr. Anders, subject of this sketch, first settled in Flatonia, where he lived for several years. It was while residing there that he was united in marriage. The family moved from Flatonia to Dubina, and about thirty-three years ago they again made another change and located at Weimar, where they resided ever since. Mr. Andes was a carpenter by trade and was an active worker up to a short time ago, when age and ill health began to tell upon him and he gave up his calling of a lifetime. Mr. Anders was married twice and to these two unions seven children were born, of whom five survive, as follows: Mr. F. F. Anders, Mrs. Lena Hohensee, Mrs. A. J.

Mr. Ferd. Anders, Jr., a popular and highly respected resident of our city for many years, aged about 40 years, died at the family residence Saturday night, after an illness of about four months, from typhoid fever and its complications. The funeral took place at St. Michael’s Cemetery Monday morning, Rev. Jos. Szymanski officiating in an impressive service.

Some four months ago he was taken ill with typhoid fever, and although he put up a hard fight for life, and everything possible was done for his welfare by family, physicians and nurses, the Master called him and he responded to the call.
His death is deeply and sincerely deplored by our entire citizenship, who feel that the community has lost a good and valued man.

She is survived by her aged husband, three daughters, Mrs. Andrew Sciba of Schulenburg, Misses Millie and Julia Anders of this city, and two sons, Messrs. Frank F. Anders and Ferd. Anders, Jr., of this city, besides several grandchildren.

Mrs. Minnie Anders
Mrs. Minnie Anders, wife of Ferdinand Anders, Jr., died at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning, at the family home a mile east of Weimar, after an illness of some three weeks, during which she suffered intensely. The funeral took place at St. Michael’s cemetery, Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock, and was attended by a very large crowd of sympathizing relatives and friends. Rev. Jos. Szymanski, rector of St. Michael’s church, performed the touching funeral ceremony. Mrs. Anders was the daughter of Anton Seifert and wife, worthy residents of this city, and was reared to young womanhood in this city and immediate vicinity. About three years ago she was united in marriage to Ferd. Anders, Jr., the husband of her choice, and the union was a happy one. A heart-broken husband, little three-weeks old girl baby, father, mother, several sisters and brothers, survive her. Mrs. Anders was a quiet, earnest, good woman, a faithful, devoted wife, one of the best of neighbors and friends, and her death after such a long, lingering struggle and such an earnest desire as she expressed to live, has brought much sadness and gloom over this section among her large circle of friends, relatives and acquaintances. The Mercury joins in heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family, in the hope that a merciful Providence will console them as He alone can.
[Submitter's note: Minnie was born on May 6, 1888 in Texas. Her parents were Anton Seifert, Sr. and Mary Halfman.]
