Mary Emeline, is the daughter of John W. Sanders and Mary Ann Dry and granddaughter of Peter Dry and Hetty Elizabeth A. Teeter. By all indications, Mary Emeline was never married and her sister didn’t marry until after the death of their father in 1897. It seems as if she was suffering from a long-standing, lingering illness based on this statement form her obituary – “In all the suffering of the illness that caused her departure from this earth she expressed most confidently her implicit trust in the Savoir.
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 year 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.
