S. L. Sanderson

  The Sabine Parish Sheriff's Department received a call Sunday,
Sept. 24, saying Samuel L. Sanderson of Many had been found dead
in his bed.

  Sanderson lived alone on Orange Street in Many, and was employed
as a machine operator at the Many Theatre.

  When Sanderson did not show up for work Sunday, another employee
from the theatre went to check on him, since he is considered a
very prompt person.

  Sheriff T. M. Phillips went to Sanderson's home, and called an
ambulance from there. He contacted Dr. Bucey from Many Clinic
also, since the coroner, Dr. N. U. Booker, and the assistant
coroner, Dr. Fred Thomas were both out of town.

  It is presumed by the Sheriff's Dept. there was no foul play,
and Sanderson died of natural causes.

  Sheriff Phillips and a neighbor of Sanderson's, Joe Koss,
examined Sanderson's billfold, and found $4,400 in cash. Sheriff
Phillips has the money in his custody, until Sanderson's wife and
children can be located.

  Funeral services for Sanderson, 48, were held at the Warren
Meadows Funeral Home Chapel, Wednesday, Sept. 27, with the Rev.,
J. C. Skinner officiating. Interment was in the Many Cemetery,
under the direction of Warren Meadows Funeral Home.

  Survivors include two sons, Samuel Darrye Sanderson, and Michael
Sanderson; three daughters, Patricia, Delores, and Martha
Sanderson; a brother, J. W. Sanderson Sr. of New Orleans; two
sisters, Mrs. Sam Sims of Hornbeck, and Mrs. Myrtle Boarland of
Kelso, Wash.; two half sisters, Naomi Tillman of Albany, Ga., and
Mrs. Louis Towns of Shreveport.
