49th Wedding Anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. J. B. Sanders

1881 - 1930

On Sunday, November 23rd, the children and grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. J.B.
Sanders gathered at their home in the Palestine community to celebrate the
49th wedding anniversary with a surprise dinner. They began gathering about
9:00 o’clock and dinner was served about 12:00 , which consisted of Hopkins
Co. stew, baked chicken, turkey and dressing, cakes, pies and salads, and many
other good things too numerous to mention.

Mr. & Mrs. J. B. Sanders were united in marriage Nov. 24, 1881, at Meridian,
Mississippi, by Rev. Stone of that place. Mrs. Stone was, before her marriage,
Miss Lou Wheeless. To this union were born fifteen children, none of whom
survive.

Mr. & Mrs. Sanders were both born and raised in Alabama. They came to Texas
December 6, 1896, and settled near Campbell, living there for sixteen years.
They then moved to Anthony, Fannin County, and lived there one year. Then
moved back to Alabama, staying only one year, came back to Texas and settled
south of Cumby where they have resided for the past sixteen years.

Those present to enjoy the day were Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Sanders and sons,
Buster and Archie: Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Bennett and daughter, Iris; Mr and Mrs.
T. O. White and daughters, Lois, Coy, Evelyn, Nelda Joye, of Campbell; Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Gaines and daughter, Charlene, of Cumby; and Mrs. T. W. Langley and
children, Lynn, Wanda Lou, and James B.; Mr. and Mrs. Alva Webb and baby and
three nieces, Desma, Opal and Mittie Pugh. On daughter, Mrs. R. E. Melton, and
one son, Allen Sanders, and their families were not present.

We all enjoyed the day very much and departed for our homes late in the
afternoon, wishing mother and dad many more happy years of married life.
