The Georgia Enterprise, Aug. 5, 1904

Death of Mrs. C. V. Sanford
  Mrs. Charles V. Sanford died at her home in Macon, Ga., last Thursday
afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, after a long illness.
  She is well known in Covington and her death will bring deep regret
to many hearts.
  Mrs. Sanford was the daughter of Col. Enoch Steadman, of Newton
county, who was a leading man of this section, and was at one time
president of Georgia senate. She was born in Murfreesboro, Tenn., on
Aug. 8, 1848, and was married at Covington, Ga. Dec. 2, 1867, to Mr.
Charles V. Sanford, son of the distinquished teacher and author, Shelton
P. Sanford, who for so many years, filled the chair of mathematics at
Mercer university. After her marriage she and her husband resided for
many years at Covington and Conyers where Mr. Sanford conducted 
successful business enterprises. Afterwards they removed to Macon, where
they have since resided.
  For the past five years Mrs. Sanford has been a consistant sufferer
from ill health, and for two months past has been critically ill. Her
patience in suffering and her preparedness for the inevitable end are
but additional evidences of her Christian character. She was a faithful
member of the First Baptist church at Macon, and was a regular attendant
on its service till her failing health forbade.
  She is survived by her husband, her mother, Mrs. Mary Steadman, of 
Covington, and five children, Prof. Q. V. Sanford, of the University
of Georgia, at Athens: C. D. Sanford, of Macon; Shelton P. Sanford, of
Marietta; Paul H. Sanford, of Savannah, and Miss Annie Sanford, of Macon.
  The many friends of the family both here and elsewhere, throughout the
state, will deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.
