Obituary- Sanders, Flora

Mrs. Flora Sanders
The community was saddened Friday, Sept. 0, by the announcement of the sudden passing of Mrs. Flora Sanders, 7, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Grace Rogers, Route 9, south of Dover.

While she had been in failing health for some time she was considered to be much improved the past two weeks, and was able to do some of the things about the home.

Death resulted after a fall part way down basement steps Thursday evening, about 5:30, injuring her head and received body bruises. She lived through the night and passed away Friday noon.

Mrs. Sanders was born Dec. 15, 1881, at Westmoreland, and moved to Rossville when a young child and lived here until 1943 when she moved to Dover. She was a member of the Rossville Christian Church and member of Rebecca Lodge No. 733.

On March 21, 1907, she was married to William Sanders, and to this union were born two daughters, Grace and Naomi June. The latter passed away in 1917.

Mr. Sanders preceded her in death in November 26, 1943.

Mrs. Sanders was a devoted wife and mother and kind neighbor and friend to all who knew her.
Besides her daughter, Mrs. Grace Rogers, she is survived by two grandchildren, Morma Jean and Marvin Rogers; two sisters, Mrs. Dora Lee and Mrs. Margaret Wax of Topeka and a host of relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Rossville Christian church with the Rev. A.A. Van Sickle of the Dover Federated church officiating, assisted by the local pastor, Maurice Graham.

Music was furnished by Mrs. Marlin Harth and Mrs. Herbert Trimble with Mrs. Joe Campbell accompanying at the piano.
