Alston Ave.[edit]
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[edit]
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)
