Armanda Elizabeth Sanders, born in Dyer county, Tennessee, November 17,
1836, died at her home in Texola, December 31, 1925, aged 89 years 1 month
and 23 days.
Deceased moved with her parents to Arkansas in 1854 where she was married
to Francis Marion Sanders and to which union was born 5 children, two of
whom survive to mourn the loss of a mother.  They are J. H. Sanders with
whom she was residing at the time of her death and Mrs. D. S. Blair.
Soon after moving to the state of Arkansas the subject of this sketch
professed her faith in Christ and united with the Baptist church there and
has remained a faithful member up until her death and was active in church
affairs until old age and its infirmities rendered her unable to further
remain active.  She moved to Texola, Oklahoma, in 1907, and united with
the church here.
The funeral for Grandma Sanders was held on Thursday last at the local
Baptist church, Rev. N. C. Danner, local pastor, speaking the last words
over her remains.  Interment was made in the Texola cemetery.
The Tribune joins with the many friends of the deceased in extending
sympathy to the sorrowing relatives.
