L. A. Sanders, another of Washington County's most wide-awake, 
thorough-going farmers, was born in that county, and is the son of 
Anderson Sanders, of Spring Valley. The father was born in Indiana, 
and came to this State in 1859, locating at or near Spring Valley, 
where he has followed farming and merchandising ever since. His son, 
L. A., attended school in Washington County, and secured the best 
education that the county afforded. He has followed in the footsteps 
of his father, has tilled the soil all his life and has been very 
successful. He owns 280 acres of as fine land as there is in the 
county, 175 being cultivated and well improved. In 1884 he selected 
his life's companion in the person of Miss Mollie McCarthy, and they 
are the parents of two children: Paul and Welmet. Mrs. Sanders is the 
daughter of John and Mary McCarthy, of Fort Smith, Ark. Both Mr. and 
Mrs. Sanders are members of the church, he of the Baptist denomination 
and she of the Catholic, and both are respected and esteemed by all 
their acquaintances.
