He showed this same location when he registered for the World War II draft, as a resident of Sallison, OK. This draft registration also named Lucile Myers, of Bokoshe, OK, as the "person who will always know your address." Anthony indicated he worked for himself. His FindAGrave memorial page, created by Frances Allen Titsworth, links him to his spouse, Bessie Elizabeth McLemore (1898-1983), with whom he shares a double marker.
