Sasser, one of Senoia's most enterprising and influential citizens, died at his home in this city Sunday morning after a few days illness. Mr. Sasser had been a resident of Senoia for about thirty years and during that time had made many friends to whom his death was a severe shock. He was ever ready to do a favor for a friend; as a neighbor there was none superior; as a husband he was kind and true; as a father he was loving and indulgent; and his greatest pleasure was in caring and looking after the welfare of his loved ones. He had been a member of the Methodist church since early boyhood and served in church work in various capacities having been an active steward for several years. He was ever ready and willing to bear his part of the church finances, taking a leading part in building the present house of worship and the parsonage. He was one of our leading merchants for twenty years; then selling out and entering the lumber and fertilizer business in all of which he was successful. He was ever ready to take a leading part in advancing the town's welfare. He will be greatly missed as a leader in the affairs of our town. Mr. Sasser was a prominent Mason, an Odd Fellow, belonged to K. of P. and Woodman and was as true as steel to those orders. Mr. Sasser was happily married to Miss Lillian May Rawls of Haralson about twenty-seven years ago, seven children being born to this union. Mrs. Sasser died in Dec. 1904. He was then married the second time to Miss Ottie Sanders of Bolingbroke in Feb. 1907 who, with his seven children ,survives him, together with four brothers and one sister. The funeral services were conducted at the residence on Monday morning bu Rev. W.M. Wynn, assisted by Rev. W.J. Cotter and services were conducted at the grave by his pastor Rev. E.W. Jones.
