ADRIANNA (ADDIE) SHRYER SANDERS

ANGEL OF DEATH TAKES GOOD LADY MRS. J.D. SANDERS VICTIM OF DROPSY HUSBAND AND LARGE FAMILY SURVIVE
The death angel visited the home of MR. J.D. SANDERS, of Bethesda neighborhood Sunday and carried away his bosom
companion, MRS. ADRIANNA (Addie) SHRYER SANDERS, aged seventy two years of dropsy.
Mrs. Sanders was born in Trigg County, and was a faithful member of the Blue Spring Baptist Church, and a pious, Christian lady.
She was known by all as one whose heart beat in full sympathy with all who needed sympathy, with charity for every one and tenderness for all of God's creatures. Although burdened by physical infirmities for a great many years, which kept her closely confined to her home, she was an ardent reader, and few women of the county had a brighter mind or one better stored with general information. She was a greatly loved by every one who knew her, and it is safe to say that no one in all the community will be more missed than she.
Beside her aged and heart broken husband, Mrs. Sanders is survived by the following children: E.C. Sanders, Fishtail, Mont; Mrs. Joseph Baer, Los Angeles, Cal; Mrs. John Morris, Evansville, Ind' Mrs. Jack Stephens, of Tennessee; Mesdames, Robert Stephens and P.M. King of Trigg county, to mourn her departure.
Her body was laid to rest Monday afternoon in the Sivells' grave yard in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, Rev. Luther Sanders, of Cadiz conducted the service.

The death of Harvey C. Sanders at the home of his son, Thomas A. Sanders, last Wednesday evening, closes the history of the living memebers of the body guard of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, and ends the earthly toil of one of the substantial citizens of Bowie county.
For the past two years Mr Sanders had been afflicted with a heart trouble, but had been active the greater portion of the time. The spells had become more numerous the past year, but principally were of short duration.
On Friday before his death the following Wednesday, he complained of feeling bad. In the afternoon, his son, Tom, with whom he had made his home for the past 25 years, sent for a doctor who advised getting a nurse. Miss Sallie Mae Davis, a professional nurse was secured at once. Mr Sanders appeared to rally, but was unable to be up and about as usual after one of his spells. Treatment was continued until Wednesday when it appeared he was much better, he talked to the nurse and members of the family in his usual manner.
After supper while Miss Davis and Mrs Sanders were sitting with the patient, Mr Sanders went out on the front gallery just outside the door, while the patient was a sleep. In a few minutes, Mrs. Sanders called her husband in the room and as he walked to the bedside his father breathed his last.

JAMES WILLARD SANDERS

On Friday night ,December 22, 1922, the death angel unfolded its wings over the home of MR. AND MRS. MARSHALL SANDERS and took from the their baby boy, JAMES WILLARD. He was seven months old.
He was sick three weeks and his condition was alarming at first and grew worse until the end. All the medical aid and loving hands could do was done, but to no avail. His death was caused by infantile paralysis. He was such a sweet baby, and oh, so hard to give him up. We know that an impalpable footstep has fallen on this threshold; that a shadowy hand was knocked at this door, and the dread visitant, who will not be denied nor turned away, has entered here. He entered and departed, but the veiled mourner, sorrow, who treads solemnly after him, has stayed behind; his ruthless hand has plucked the white bud of promised that gladdened the fair
garland of household love. The bud that breathed and yet unfolded perfume of sweet but undefined hopes, that coming years would ripen into fruit on; his remorseless foot has fallen beside this hearthstone. And, lo! the dead footprint has hallowed a little grave.
JAMES WILLARD is dead. The mother bends with anguished eyes above the still small effigy of her lost hope; but the baby is not there. Out of her arms and out of her life something has gone that will not return. We can only say to the beloved mother and father -- weep not. We can't understand now why he was taken from us. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh' blessed be the name of the Lord.
His Aunt,
MRS. MARVIN R. SANDERS.
