ADRIANNA (ADDIE) SHRYER SANDERS
ANGEL OF DEATH TAKES GOOD LADY MRS. J.D. SANDERS VICTIM OF DROPSY HUSBAND
AND LARGE FAMILY SURVIVE
The death angel visited the home of MR. J.D. SANDERS, of Bethesda neighborhood
Sunday and carried away his bosom
companion, MRS. ADRIANNA (Addie) SHRYER SANDERS, aged seventy two years of
dropsy.
Mrs. Sanders was born in Trigg County, and was a faithful member of the Blue
Spring Baptist Church, and a pious, Christian lady.
She was known by all as one whose heart beat in full sympathy with all who
needed sympathy, with charity for every one and tenderness for all of God's
creatures. Although burdened by physical infirmities for a great many years,
which kept her closely confined to her home, she was an ardent reader, and
few women of the county had a brighter mind or one better stored with general
information. She was a greatly loved by every one who knew her, and it is
safe to say that no one in all the community will be more missed than she.
Beside her aged and heart broken husband, Mrs. Sanders is survived by the
following children: E.C. Sanders, Fishtail, Mont; Mrs. Joseph Baer, Los Angeles,
Cal; Mrs. John Morris, Evansville, Ind' Mrs. Jack Stephens, of Tennessee;
Mesdames, Robert Stephens and P.M. King of Trigg county, to mourn her departure.
Her body was laid to rest Monday afternoon in the Sivells' grave yard in
the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, Rev. Luther
Sanders, of Cadiz conducted the service.
