Narrative

William Dudley Anderson was the son of Henry T Anderson and Mary "Mollie" Clark, of Richmond, Virginia. I think his death record is the only record so far that includes both his given name, Dudley Anderson, and his stage name, Robert "Bobbie" Carroll. For more information about Dudley Anderson, including his career onstage. see William D Anderson of Richmond, Virginia and Robert Carroll (Dudley Anderson), Actor, of Chicago, Illinois.
