This past week has been spent researching the family of John W. Sanders and his wife Mary Ann Dry with very little results to show for that effort. I did however find the obituary for their daughter Mary Emeline Sanders.
According to her obituary Mary Emeline Sanders was borne 26 June 1860. Marry Emeline is listed with her parents in 1870 and 1880 Census for Lenoir and Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The next record of Mary Emeline was her obituary which appeared in “The Concord Times”, Concord, North Carolina, 05 Sep 1890, Fri., Page 3, Column 5.
Obituary: Mary Emeline Sanders
Mary Emeline, daughter of J. W. and Mary A. Sanders, was born June 26th 1860, and departed this life August 26th, 1890, age 30 years and 2 months. The deceased was early converted to Christ, and for fifteen years had been a faithful consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The highest expression of praise as to her life and character is the universal expression that she not only professed, but lived so as to exemplify pure and undefiled religion. In all the suffering of the illness that caused her departure from this earth she expressed most confidently her implicit trust in the Savoir. She passed away calmly and sweetly, and now rests from her labors. May the Lord comfort the friends left behind.
H. M. B.
The obituary names her parents, Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Sanders, gives her birth date, 26 June 1860, her death date 26 August 1890 and age 30 years and 2 months. None of her 4 siblings are mentioned. Nor is there a mentioned as to her final resting place.
Mary Emeline Sanders is my 2nd Cousin 3X Removed.
