John B. Sanders
LIFE AND DEATH OF JOHN B. SANDERS
John B. Sanders, who was known to many of the older residents as "Black John," died Wednesday, August 22, at the home of his son, F.L. Sanders near Mason City.
Mr. Sanders was the son of Booker and Lottie Sanders and was born July 1, 1833 in Vermillion county, Indiana. He came to Iowa in 1848 locating in Eden township, and always since then, although he was away at short intervals in the later years of his life, he claimed Benton county and Vinton as his home. He was married to Mary Jane Rogers March 1, 1855, at the home of the bride in Indiana, and to them six children were born, one daughter dying in infancy and one son at the age of ten years, while the family was in Kansas. The surviving children are W.F. Sanders, of Rochester, Ind., F.L. Sanders of Mason City, J. C. Sanders, former warden of the penitentiary at Ft. Madison, and Mrs. Kate Riggle, of Corwith, Iowa.
While Mr. Sanders has not been in robust health for several years, he was able to be up and around and death came from a stroke of apoplexy while he was about in the yard.
The body was brought to Vinton Friday and the funeral was held Saturday afternoon at two o'clock in the U.B. church, Rev. Uhlenhopp conducting the services, and the burial was in the U.B. cemetery in the south part of Taylor township.
Mr. Sanders was a man who was very partisan in his beliefs and was always free in the expression of them. He was a staunch republican and was also a member of the Odd Fellows lodge. All of his life he was known as an unusual character because of his radical views and mannerisms and his sincerity to his friends was just as strong as his dislike for those who opposed his views.

W. B. Sanders
W.B. SANDERS IS CALLED HOME
Death Calls Another Benton County Pioneer to His Reward Last Tuesday-- W. B. Sanders died at his home in Vinton Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock after an illness of less than a week.
"Uncle Billy" as he was known to everybody was a man universally liked. He was of quiet disposition but by his cheerful, pleasant manner endeared himself to all who knew him.
He has been a familiar figure in Vinton and to scores of people his taking away will come as a personal loss.
Mr. Sanders was 72 years old, a native of Indiana. He settled in Eden township in 1852 and resided on the old farm until he retired from active work and moved to Vinton ten years ago.
He married Miss Ann Butcher in 1862 who, with the only son John, survive.
The funeral was held at the Eden township church yesterday morning and the burial took place in the cemetery near by.
