   JERRY SANDERS was born in Boone County, Ind., February 15, 1846, and is the
son of Samson and Sarah (Russel) Sanders, both natives of North Carolina. Samson
Sanders was among the pioneers of Boone County, where he lived a farmer's life.
About 1852, he came to. Tipton County, and located in Wild Cat Township, on
ninety-three acres of unimproved land, and subsequently upon eighty acres of
wild land, where our subject now lives. He resided upon this until after the
death of his wife in 1870, after which he sold the farm and lived with his
children; he spent his last days in Windfall, and died in the fall of 1876 at
the age of sixty-seven. At the age of eighteen, Jerry Sanders began life for
himself, and in 1879 engaged in the lumber business near Tipton. He continued
there two years, and then returned to the farm where he now lives, comprising
forty acres under good cultivation. Mr. Sanders enlisted in 1864 in the twelve
months' service in Company D, Fifty -fourth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
but after he got south of Indianapolis was taken sick and sent back to that
city. He remained there six weeks, at which time he was honorably discharged. He
had four brothers in the rebellion, one of whom sleeps down South in a soldier's
grave. Mr. Sanders was married, October 26, 1870, to Miss Lois A. Griswold, of
Madison County, Ind. Five children have blessed this union-Laura, Henry,
William, Flora (deceased) and one infant (deceased). Mr. Sanders is a Democrat;
he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
