The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 14, 1918
Mr. Marion Sanders Passes To Great Beyond
On the morning of June 6th, about 12:15 o'clock, the angel of death silently 
entered the sick room where Mr. Marion Sanders had been suffering for some time 
and whispered, "Come Home."

He was born April 12, 1837, making his stay on earth 81 years, one month and 
twenty-four days.  December 19th,  1867 he was married to Miss Briny Maxwell, 
who preceded him to the great beyond 2 years and 5 months before.

All was done for him that loving hands and friends could do, but without 
avail.  He suffered a great deal in his last days, and bore it with patience.  
He was laid to rest at Tired Creek church cemetery by the side of his dear 
companion where he sweetly rests from all toil and trouble. 

Mr. Sanders leaves eight children, Messrs. C. W. Sanders of Watts, California; 
F. F., W., J. R., H. A. and M. T. Sanders; Mrs. W. H. Butler and Mrs. W. C. 
Gainey and several grand children; also three brothers, to mourn their loss, 
but we hope it is his eternal gain.

He will be greatly missed by his neighbors and friends where he was known.  His 
every-day life speaks more than we can write.  But why lament his death, when 
death is a gate to endless joy?
