During Mrs. Anders’ 52-year residence in Garrison she was at one time or another president of almost every local organization to which she belonged, notably the Philipstown Garden Club.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mrs. Anders’ memory to the Philipstown Garden Club Endowment Fund will be appreciated. P.O. Box 255, Garrison, NY 10524.
