St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, April 21, 1906, Image 5

Death of An Old Citizen.

In the death of Mr. John A. Sanders, which occured at Eunice on Tuesday 
morning, April 17, 1906, the parish of St. Landry has lost one of its 
sturdy, honest, Christian citizens, and his family a loving and careful 
parent.

Mr. Sander's upright life was a model for the young men in his section of 
the parish, and his fatherly counsels will be missed by the many who looked 
to him like they would to a father.

He died at the ripe old age of 76 years, 1 month and 12 days. God spared him 
beyond the accepted claim of Time before he called him to that "river," 
gliding free to that unfathomed, boundless sea, the silent grave," and his 
soul to His throne to be judged according to his righteousness by Jevovah 
the most high. "All things are best fulfilled in their due time."

His remains were interred in the public cemetery in Opelousas on Wednesday 
at 3 o'clock p. m.

The Clarion extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved parents.

Additional Comments:
NOTE: John Austin Sanders is buried in at the Myrtle Grove Cemetery located in 
Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, LA.
