Black female, born about 1877 in Florida. She died at the age of 42 of pneumonia and La Grippe (usually this means influenza) on 15 January 1919 in Pensacola, FL. She resided at 413 E. LaRua St., according to the death certificate; however, there is no 413 E. La Rua now or back then, so that address may be mistaken. There is no information on her marital status or parents on the death certificate. She was buried in the Escambia County Poor Farm cemetery.
In the 1919 Pensacola City Directory, a Jennie V. Anderson who worked as a laundress resided at 2504 Cordova St. with William Anderson, a cook; and William Anderson, Jr., a laborer. There is no sign of any of these Andersons in the 1916 Directory. The 1920 Escambia County census lists a Will Anderson, a single Black male working as a laborer at the shipyard, boarding at 314 E. La Rua. This may be the William Jr. in the 1919 City Directory. More research is needed to confirm the identities of these Andersons.
