Mrs. A.H. Saunders died at the home of her son, Capt. H.T. Saunders, on Wednesday morning at three o’clock from a stroke of paralysis on last Sunday evening at seven o'clock, from which she never recovered consciousness.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church at four-thirty o’clock Wednesday evening. Rev. W. S. Harrison conducted the services assisted by Revs. H.R. Raymond and W.E.M. Brogan, and the interment at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and sorrowing friends. Mrs. Saunders was lovingly and respectfully known and recognized as Grandma by everyone. She was born in Summer County, Tenn., in 1822, and was in her 89th year when she fell asleep in the arms of her blessed Master.
The most of her life was spent in Mississippi in Carroll County, where her husband who was a prominent lawyer, proceeded her to that better land forty-six years ago, leaving her seven children to care for, five sons and two daughters.
For the last twenty years she made her home with her children here.
Mrs. Saunders was a most remarkable lady in many particulars. She was as active and quick in step as one not over halt her age and always carried sunshine and scattered it along all with whom she came in contact.
The departed was for more than half a century a consistent Christian and a member of the Methodist Church. Truly a mother in Israel has fallen who will rise on that bright morning of the Resurrection.
The News sincerely joins the many friends of the sons, and daughters and other relatives of the bereft in their irreparable loss in their hour of gloom and sorrow.
