	LOUISA ROUGH SANDERS was born in Snyder Co. Penn, March 1, 1850, and went into
mansions above Sept. 3, 1899.
	When but a small girl her parents left the hills of Pensylvania[sic] and came
west finding a home on Portage Prairie where they remained for some years and
then moved to Bristol, Ind.
	Nov 19, 1871 she was married to Eprahaim W. Sanders at Dayton, Mich. which
place was their home for several years. They removed to Buchanan about nineteen
years ago.
	Four children came to this home two dying in infancy and two, Frank R. and
Hattie with their father, of this home so foundered in love, remain to mourn her
departure, realizing with the poet,__
	
	"They who go
	Feel not the pain of parting; it is they
	Who stay behind that suffer."

	Of her old home from whence in days gone by she came full of hope and labor,
her father, one brother and three sisters, remain on this side of the river.
	About ten years ago Mrs. Sanders gave her heart into God's keeping and was
received into full membership of the M.E. Church July 21, 1889.  Her Christian
life has been one of continued faith in peace and loving fellowship with His
followers.
	All during the past year she has been an invalid, suffering from the steady
advances of a disease that seems to bid defiance to all skill.  To write an
epitome of her character would be beyond the skill of man, perhaps the best is
siad, "She loved, was loved and is loved."
	The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from her late residence,
and was largely attended by the many friends of the deceased.  Rev. H.L. Potter
conducted the services, music being furnished by Messrs. F.W. Mead, Wm. Monro
and Misses Florence and Bernice Mead.  The pallbearers were Messrs. I.H.L. Dudd,
John A. Ray, D.L. Boardman, C.E. Russell, C.D. Kent, and C.O. Hamilton.  The
floral tributes were most profuse and elaborate, those from the various
societies of which the deceased was a member were as follows: East Hive No. 19,
L.O.T.M. a pillow; Sylvia Chapter No. 74, O.E.S. a star; Ladies Aid Society of
the M.E. Church, an anchor; Bethany S.S. Class, (her daughter's class) a pillow;
besides which were a profusion of wreathes, pillows and other floral offerings
from various friends of the family.  Interment was made in Oak Ridge
Cemetary[sic] under direction of J.F. Hahn.  Among those present from out of
town were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rough, Mr. and Mrs. H.B. App of Bristol, Ind.,
Mrs. M.A. Young and son and Mrs. R.W. Pierce and Mr. H.O Pierce of Niles.
	The sorrowing husband, son and daughter have the sympathy of the entire
community in their great loss.
