This bible was in the possession of Joseph William Chandler for many years and then in possession of his wife after his death. Joseph William Chandler was the grandson of Joseph J. Sanders, the original owner. (On the front inside cover, in very faint writing, ” My Daddy’s, Deasey Sanders.”) After Joseph J. Sanders, it came into the possession of Deasey Ann Sanders Herriman, his daughter. She is the one who entered most of the family information. After her death, it was passed to her half-sister, Atilla Gerome Sanders Chandler, mother of Joseph William Chandler.  She entered information about her children. The information relating to Joseph J. Sander’s parents and siblings was entered at a much later date by Mrs. J W Chandler, which she obtained from a Sanders family member.

SNOW Family Bible

This Bible has been in our family for many years. The Specks mentioned in it are our family. I’m not sure how E.W. Snow and the Reaves are related. All
of these families were around the Middleton area of Hardeman Co., TN.

The Holy Bible
Old and New Testaments
Published 1856
New York

First page
This book presented to E.W. Snow by J.P. Keatin a Virginian, both prisoners of  war. Captured at Fort Donaldson, TN., on February 16, 1862.

E.W. Snow’s Bible

Second page
Juley A. Reaves born September 23, 1825 died August 6, 1868
John Anderson Reaves born September 18, 1861
Sally H. Reaves born January 29, 1869
Frances Emily Reaves – Mississippi

Third page
Jim Speck born February 22, 1866
Hester Speck born January 26, 1867
Tom Speck born August 8, 1873
Charity Speck born November 1879

A lot of the writing is faded so I copied it as best I could. The Specks  mentioned above are related to the Hicks and Holloway’s through marriage.

Obituary Albert Earl Davenport

Near Saulsbury, Tenn., Jan. 8, 1900, little Albert Earl, only son of E. L. and E. C. Davenport, aged 4 years, 1 month and 21 days.

Earl was sick only a week when the summons came and his spirit entered the heavenly home prepared by the one who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” He was an affectionate child, the joy of his parents and a favorite with his relatives.

While God’s providence may seem strange to us now, we shall better understand when we get home. Then trust in that precious Savior, a friend who never forsakes our refuge and comfort in sorrow.

Obituary S. D. Wright

Death has again entered the ranks of Beulah Lodge, No. 432, Knights and Lades of Honor, of Saulsbury, and plucked one of our brightest jewels, Sister S. D. Wright, who passed away so peacefully on the morn of November 16th.

She was a sister of beautiful loveliness of character and superb womanly dignity. Her modesty and humility, the ease and quietude of her faith gave her the bearing of a Saint in the Lodge, in the Church and in the home. Her presence in the family was a benediction to those about her, and her words and works were a blessing to the community.

She was a true and devoted wife, a kind and self-sacrificing mother, charitable to the poor, thoughtful of her neighbors and responsive to every call of duty.

The Lodge has lost one of its truest, staunchest members and supporters, her husband a true and loving wife, her daughter one of the dearest of mothers, her neighbors a true friend.

We rejoice that we sorrow not as those that have no hope, for truly she was a ripe sheaf, fully ready for the Master’s garner. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.”

As Brothers and Sisters we express our condolence to the bereaved family in the following resolutions:

Resolved, That the Lodge has sustained a great loss in the death of Sister Wright. Her helpful piety and saintly influence were a blessing to us, in doing our work.

Resolved, That we express to her daughter, Mrs. Julia Stanton, her husband and other relatives, our profoundest sympathy in this hour of their great sorrow.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge and a copy be sent to the family of deceased.

Mrs. J. G. Low
