General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Sanders

---

His birth occurred at the old family homestead and he received his early education in a school house which stood upon the same estate. His instruction was confined almost exclusively to reading, writing and arithmetic, but the study of grammar was added during one winter term. At sixteen he left school to take charge of a team for hauling wood, coal and lime. There was plenty of work to do at home, and, being the youngest son, he was kept busily employed after the elder boys married and left the farm. After he married they located at the homestead, Mr. Sanders working the farm on shares, and, after his father's death in 1870, he purchased the place, paying sixty dollars per acre, and going in debt to some extent. The estate was greatly improved since, the barn and residence being re-modeled, and all the other buildings replaced with new. In addition to the homestead, he came to own 170 acres of farming and timber land in Snyder County, and a pleasant home in New Berlin. In 1881 he had the misfortune to be kicked by a horse, and he never fully recovered from the injury. Thereafter he did no manual labor, and in 1886 he removed to New Berlin. The attractions of the old home, where his entire life had been spent, were too strong for him to be contented anywhere else, and in 1891 he returned to the farm, where he remained in a happy and peaceful retirement.
He was a Republican, but never went into political life, although he at times held office as township auditor and inspector of elections. He and his wife were leading members of the Lutheran Church, in which he served as elder.
