"He was born on his father's farm and lived most of his life in a nearby large house on Georgetown Rd. that had been built by Lewis Sanders early in the 19th century, but moved into town (181 N. Broadway) in 1906. He served in the Confederate Army in Mississippi early in the war for about a year, but came down with such a persistent fever that he was discharged. He was a "quiet, unostentatious man who lived a quiet life" and "an avid reader all his life." He and Maria attended Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral, but he was not in any lodge or veterans."
Lexington Herald, Jan. 5, 1920, p. 6. It gives her age as 69, and says that she is the mother of Mrs. Warren Frazer. If age 69 is accurate, she was born around 1850 and was 14 when she got married.
