Early in life she yielded her heart and life to the cause of Christ and allowed only the highest motives of trust and obedience to influence her life and enable her actions. She was a member of the Hickory Head Baptist church and was one its strongest members. In 1881 she was married to Mr. Wash Sanders and moved to Miccosukee, Fla., where she lived until the death of her husband in May, 1903. In January of 1904 she moved to this city with her two children, Miss Mattie and adopted son, Louis, it was from this place that she was called to rest from her labors. For six long months the heavy hand of mortal illness had wrecked her body and tortured her brain, but even through the dense cloud of physical suffering and mental anguish, with penetrating faith, she seemed to catch bright glimpses of the Heavenward journey and home beyond. God, after fulfilling his purpose here, took her to himself, freed from all earthly cares and adding another bright link into the throne of God.
