William Barton Ansley

Willie B. Ansley lives in Jefferson County 7 miles out from Bessemer near the Virginia mines where he owns 80 acres or about that of fine land where he has built himself a large nice white house, quite large, where he gives me a home with him now that I am not able to help myself, God bless them. They have 7 children, Cora, Clara, Louis, Cardin, Dollie, Joshua, Emery. Brother Willie married Miss Alice Stewart of Butler Co., her grandfather was a brother of our Methodist Palmer of Nashville, also a brother of the Georgia Palmer, I have visited one of his daughters Mrs. Henry Smith of Upson Co., Ga., one of the sweetest friends I ever had anywhere.
