The quilt near the top of this page was made by Olive “Ollie” Melton, wife of Daniel Smoot Anderson. She made the quilt in our Warren County. They brought the quilt to Texas in their covered wagon. Daniel S. Anderson is a brother to William Anderson, original owner of the above Bible. Daniel’s g-g-granddaughter, Ann Melugin Williams, supplied her photograph of her Anderson family quilt. She wanted us all to share a little bit of old Warren.
Thanks Ann.
