== Alston Ave. ==

On November 25, 1930, The Fort Worth Press states that "W. H. Anderson" received a permit for a brick veneer house at 1511 Alston. 

In a newspaper segment regarding the marriage of [[Avinelle (Echols) Cason]], she is referred to as the "daugher of Mrs. W. W. Echols, 1517 Alston Ave." ([[The Fort Worth Press#March 28, 1935]]). In addition, "1517 Alston Avenue" is listed as the home of [[William Walker Echols Sr.]] when he died ([[The Fort Worth Press#December 19, 1933]]). Zillow states that the house currently at this address was built in 1925.

However, by August 28, 1943, their address is said to be "1504 Fifth Ave." ([[The Fort Worth Press#August 28, 1943]]). In the newspaper segment discussing the birth of [[William Walker Echols III]], "1504 Fifth Ave." is listed as the address of "Mrs. Della Echols", indicating that the house at 1504 Fifth Ave may have been inherited by [[Della Lee (Anderson) Echols]] after her parents passed away ([[The Fort Worth Press#September 4, 1947]]).

In addition, 1517 Alston Ave. is only about half a mile away from 1504 Fifth Ave (assuming the locations have not changed).

== Misc ==

This may be the "W. H. Anderson" who filed a legal case against "Dr. E. McDaniel" as his wife's maiden name is "McDaniel." ([[Fort Worth Daily Democrat-Advance#February 2, 1882]])
