Mr. Sanders Mayfield, said to be the oldest citizen in this section, died at his home a few miles from town Sunday morning.
He was one of the pioneers of this section, having moved here many years ago. He was universally respected by his neighbors and acquaintances and many of the old citizens will feel sad to know that they will see him no more. He leaves a wife and a number of children besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his sad loss. Mrs. R. M. Bratton and Mrs. Lee Conro of Goldthwaite are his daughters and have the sympathy of all in this their affliction.
Sanders Mayfield was born in Pickens County, South Carolina on February 1, 1806. At the age of sixteen years, he moved with his parents, to Alabama, and settled in Pontotoc County. Thence with his parents, to Mississippi, where he was first married to Miss A. R. Gillisspia on January 25, 1833, the fruit of his marriage was five children, two sons and three daughters.
He moved to Texas in 1837 and settled in Bowie County, moved from Bowie County to Ellis County, where after the death of his first wife, he was married to Mrs. P. A. Ard, in 1856, who survives him. The fruit of his last marriage, four children, all girls.
He moved next to Coryell County, in the year 1860, and from Coryell to Hamilton County in the year 1878, where he lived to the day of his death, which was on the 20th day of March, 1892. The part of Hamilton County where he settled was afterwards embraced in Mills County, so he died in Mills County.
He leaves a wife and six children, who were very much devoted to him. They mourn, but not as those who have no hope. Uncle Sanders, as he was generally called, was received into the M.E. Church, south, by the writer, July 27, 1890. He ripened for heaven and fell in the arms of Jesus.
He had a host of warm friends, which fact was demonstrated by the great concourse that followed him to his last resting place.
I say to his wife and weeping children and friends, press on to Heaven. You will meet him again in the sweet by and by. We only bid him a short goodbye. May the Lord keep his arms around the bereaved ones.
