VOL. I.
Mrs. Florrie Sanders died at
* last Friday at
her home here io
o'clock. life she yielded her
Rarlv in
heart and life to the cause of
Christ and allowed only the
highest motives of trust and
obedience to influence her life
an d enable her actions. She
was a member of the Hickory
Head Baptist church and was
one of it’s strongest members.
in 1881 she was married to
Wash Sanders and moved
to Miccosukee, Fla., where she
lived until the death of her hus
band in May, 1903. In Janua
rv of 1904 she moved to this city
w ith her two children, Miss
Mattie and adopted son Louis,
it was from this place that she
was called to rest from her la
bors.
For six long months the heavy
hand of mortal illness had wreck
ed her body and tortured her
brain, but even through the
dense cloud of physical suffer
ing and mental anguish, with
penetrating faith, she seemed to
catch bright glimpses of the
Heavenward journey and home
beyond. God, after fullfilling
his purpose here, took her to
himself, freed from all earthly
cares, and adding another bright
link into the throne of God.
