Sanders, J. T. -City Cemetery

"Bapp"-The Forrest City Times' Art Souvenir-1905: The Enterprise Drug Store.
Forrest City is proud to point its finger of guidance to the Enterprise Drug
Store, and attest that it is just what it's name implies. Mr. J. T. Sanders, the
proprietor, was born on October 13, 1873, in Prairie County, Arkansas. He is the
youngest son of Joe Boon and Lucy Clay (Gwyn) Sanders, who came to Arkansas in
1870 from Mississippi, the former being a native of North Carolina, born in
1834, and his mother in Virginia, in 1844. Our subject worked on a farm and
attended school in Prairie county until 1891, when he came with the family to
Forrest City. He was educated in the common schools and the St. Louis College of
Pharmacy, and began his business career by sweeping out, washing bottles, &c.,
in the store which he now owns. He rose gradually in importance, paid his own
way through college, receiving no financial aid from friends and relatives, and
in 1899 purchased a one half interest in the business of his employer, and two
years later bought him out completely. He was married on May 11, 1904 to Miss
Lizzie Rose Moores, of Russellville, Arkansas, and one child, Rebecca, now aged
eight months, has blessed their union.
