Notes:

Betty Martin reports children were Samuel and Priscilla Crose, named after parents.

Was part indian.

Was a confederate cavalry soldier, captured in Civil War.

Died as a POW in Union camp, probably of yellow fever epidemic.
Located: Austin Branch Road 2.5 miles west of its intersection with 25th Street in Hempstead

Several Confederate military facilities were positioned near Hempstead (2.5 mi. w), an important railroad junction, during the Civil War. Camp Groce (then about 6 mi. e) was a prisoner-of-war stockade established on the plantation of Leonard Waller Groce (1806-1873). Union Army prisoners who died at various camps were buried hear this site on the McDade Plantation, adjacent to the McDade family cemetery (about 25 yds. ne). The cemeteries were near a narrow gauge spur off the "Austin Branch" of the Houston & Texas Central Railroad, built from Houston in 1858. A yellow fever epidemic in 1864 resulted in many deaths at Camp Groce and other camps, chronicled by Aaron T. Sutton (1841-1927). a Union prisoner in Company B, 83rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Sutton noted in his journal the presence of more than 100 fresh graves here soon after his arrival at Camp Groce in 1864. Sutton later escaped from the stockade and made his way to Beaumont (115 mi. e) on foot. Crude crosses made of cedar limbs marked the prisoners' graves through the early 1900s, according to local residents. But the stream-fed woodland was cleared in the 1940s for pasture land, and all surface evidence of the cemetery was lost.

Notes:

Erma (my mother) says Pauline Elizabeth was of French speaking descent, but it appears she was of German speaking descent. It is apparent she was seperated from her husband George in later years and he was living with another woman, Annie Woresback his purported housekeeper. They (George and Annie) were both murdered in January 1899.

The 1870 Census was taken as Paulina and George were married. They were still living with the Crose family and George was cutting railroad ties for a living, after the civil war having just married his young teen bride.

In 1900 Census, found in Auglaize, Camden, Missouri with Maggie, Charles and Ollie. Widowed, mother of 10 children, head of household.

Fathers Demise:
From "THE REVILLE" Linn Creek, Camden County, Missouri, Thursday, January 19, 1899 Double
Murder George W. Anderson and Annie Woresback Brained With an Ax
Our usually quiet town was startled late last Friday evening, as it has not been for years by the intelligence that Annie Woresback had been found dead in the door of the old Wm.. Lane house, 2 ? miles northeast of town, occupied by Geo. W. Anderson and the woman and that as Anderson had not been seen since Wednesday, the two had probably been murdered. The ghastly discovery was made by Wm. L. Hammer, of Montreal, who had called to see Mr. Anderson on business, and informed Mr. Anderson's family, at Erie, of the tragedy before coming in to notify the authorities. Coroner Avery, Drs. Moore and Moulder, Prosecuting Attorney Chalfant and many others repaired to the scene, where about fifty person's had already gathered.
Mr. Avery found Mr. Anderson's dead body in an old house used as a corn crib, a few feet from where the woman lay. He had been struck a left handed blow from behind, apparently with the poll of a hand ax, and was lying face down with corn husks in his right hand and a sack in the other. All appearances indicated that while he much have known of the assasin's presence, he had no suspicion of his foul intent, and had been struck down without warning. He had been struck two blows while down. The woman had been struck two blows in the forehead. Her body had fallen partly out of the doorway, and had been further disfigured by hogs. The table had been laid for three, and the meal, supposed to be supper, had evidently been eaten by three persons.
The theory of the murder is that their visitor had followed Anderson to the crib while the woman went to milk. After slaying Anderson the murderer had met the woman, who had left a bucket of unskimmed milk on the table, and either to conceal his previous crime or from some deeper motive, had killed her also. What passed between these two --what awful emotions assailed the misguided woman in the presence of a dreadful death- who can conjecture? A watch was placed over the bodies, which were brought to town where an inquest was held, the verdict being that they came to their death at the hands unknown.
Anderson's body was turned over to his family and buried at the Conway cemetery, seven miles east of town. The woman's remains were interred on the county farm. On Tuesday night, Newton John, who had been seen in the vicinity, was arrested on suspicion. He had a preliminary hearing yesterday before "Squire" Foster and clearly established an alibi.
Anderson was well-known as a farmer, stock raiser and dealer both in this county and in Miller, whence he came some fifteen years ago, and had become quite wealthy, owning several large and valuable farms in both counties. He had recently lived apart from his family, with the Woreback woman, who was raised in Miller county. She was an unmarried sister of John Woresback, sent to the penitentiary from Laclede county several months ago, for stealing a team of horses from Archibald Patterson Jr, near here.
The dead man did not usually carry much money on his person, and but few cents was found on his body. An anonymous warning letter was received by Wm. A. Anderson, his eldest son, yesterday, stating that the writer knew who had killed his father, and that the crime was committed Wednesday night. It is not known with certainty that Anderson was seen alive after Wednesday, the place where he lived, being off the common route of travel. The mystery so far baffles all inquiry, and not even the motive can be clearly traced, several probably causes for the crime having been assigned. Anderson leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters.
From "The Revielle, Linn Creek, Camden County, MO, April 20, 1899. "We were now in sight of our goal, but we turned aside to attend the sale of the estate of the late George Anderson, who was so mysteriously murdered some months since. We expected to buy some cattel at this sale, but we found a great many stockmen present who seemed to want live stock a great deal more than we did. Everything offered for sale brought exceedingly high prices and the proceeds of the sale amounted to $6,000.
THE REVILLIE, Linn Creek, Camden County, Missouri February 16, 1899 $1150 Reward To reconcile conflicting reports, I wish to state that the following rewards have been authentically offered and will be paid for the apprehension and delivery to the sheriff of Camden County, at the county jail at Linn Creek, Mo., of the unknown murderer or murders of Geor W. Anderson and Anna Woresback, rewards payable on conviction. By the State..............................$200 By Camden County..........................$200 By. B. F. Anderson........................$250 By Elizabeth and W. Anderson..............$500 Total....................................$1150 The documents guaranteeing said rewards may be seen at my office. H. W. Chalfant Pros. Atty ***************************************

Update 2020: Using current DNA samples submitted by Jim Carney in 2020, the second DNA test taken, it is concluded that James W. Anderson was approximately 1/5th black (estim 15-20%) from the Congo region of Africa.
