"The LaFayette Sun" - June 14, 1916:
A Hasty Trip to Riverdale, Alabama.
By request, the writer went over to Riverdale yesterday and at 3:00 p.m. conducted burial services over the remains of Mrs. Safronia Sands, who departed this life on Sunday morning at 3:30 o’clock. Mrs. Sands was the wife of J. Warren Sands, and they had lived together as husband and wife for forty years, and unto them were born eight children, two having died in their infancy. The six surviving ones are: Mrs. Pallie Gipson, Mrs. Lottie Williams, Mrs. Gussie Anthaney, Miss Verna Sands, of Riverdale, and Mrs. Essie Mitcham, of Langdale. The deceased was sixty-four years old and was the only daughter of John and Eliza Satterwhite, of Georgia, and the father was drowned in the Chattahoochee River when their daughter was quite a child. Her mother, now Mrs. Daniel, and is eighty-three years old, makes her home with this family and feels that to her this loss is great. The deceased has led a most quiet and peaceful life from her childhood, and died, as we believe, in peace with God and all reasonable people. Owing to afflictions and surrounding circumstances, she had not united with the church, but was a lover of the Lord and his people, and left many evidences that she has gone to rest. The writer was intimately associated with her in our long years, but for twenty years have not had this association with her and her lovely family, as we desired to, but upon this occasion was deeply impressed that she left a lovely progeny to honor her by their devotion to each other and their lonely father and aged grandmother left to their care. After the services she was laid to rest in the city cemetery to await the great resurrection day. May our gracious Heavenly Father support them in this sad hour.
