My Grandpa is John Mack Sanders, who lives in Scott City. His Great-grandfather 
was Richmond Sanders, who came to Commerce, then Illmo around 1842 from 
Tennessee. He had a farm just outside of Illmo, and started the "Sanders Family 
Cemetery" on his farm, which is now owned by a descendant, Gilbert Bretzel. 
Richmond and his wife are buried there, as are several Sanders Civil War veterans 
buried in this cemetery. It is a quaint, picturesque cemetery, surrounded by trees, 
in the middle of a farm field. It's inaccessible by car. 

Richmond Sanders (Patriarch of the family)
b. March 20, 1813 TN(?) or S.Carolina
d. May 27, 1882 Sanders Cemetery. 
He has a nice, large, upright stone. He and Mary are buried under some large, old cedar trees. 
Interestingly, some of the trees in the cemetery have grown "around" some of the stones. 
Many stones are illegible, but still, the cemetery has been well-maintained by the family all 
of these years.

(daughter of William and Siniah, nee Hooper, Raspberry 
Wm. was born in Georgia sometime between 1780 & 1790

S. Carolina.  Siniah was the daughter of Churchill Hooper, a Revolutionary War veteran). 
Mary Sanders is the Matriarch of the family.
b. March 25, 1814
