Carthage Evening Press. Monday, October 31, 1938. p. 4
“Death of Baptist Leader. Rev. C.T. Sanders Succumbs Following Operation. Funderal Services for Father of Carl Sanders Held Today in Webb City.”
The Rev. Charles T. Sanders, 69, Baptist leader in southwest Missouri and justice of the peace at Webb City a number of years, died at 9 o’clock Saturday night in Stone Memorial hospital here.
Mr. Sanders had been in ill health about six weeks and last Tuesday morning he underwent an operation. His condition was considered satisfactory until last Saturday morning. His death was due to a heart ailment and other complications.
Mr. Sanders had lived virtually all of his life in southwest Missouri. his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Sanders, moved to Aurora when the son, Charles, was five years old, from Hudsonville, Ind., where Charles was born July 16, 1869. During his early life Mr. Sanders lived in Aurora and on a farm near Verona. After he had grown to manhood he returned to Aurora and for many years operated a barber shope there. In 1910 he went to Webb City and continued in the barber business.
For a number of years, Mr. Sanders was employed as a salesman in the men’s clothing department of the E.E. Wood store in Webb City. He had served as justice of the peace at intervals during the last 10 years and at the time of his death was a Republican candidate for that office. He also was a notary public. He had performed a large number of wedding ceremonies during his residence in Webb City and even after his office was closed several weeks ago when he became ill, couples sought him out at his home to offciate at their weddings.
Mr. Sanders was ordained a minister when he was about 20 years old and for many years during his early life he was an evangelistic singer and conducted revival meetings in Missouri and Kansas.
A number of years ago Mr. Sanders organized the Christian Union Mission in Webb City and took charge of the services there. About six months ago the mission became the property of the Baptist church and is now known as the Baptist mission. Regular Sunday school and church services are conducted there. The mission is affiliated with the First Baptist church of Webb City, of which Mr. Sanders was a member. Mr. Sanders was recently reelected clerk of the Spring River Baptist Association for the 20th consecutive year.

Sanders of Louisville, KY., and Leslie E. Sanders of Webb City; three daughters, Mrs. Mildred Moore and Mrs. Homer Etter of Webb City and Mrs. Thurman Damer of Joplin; a twin brother, J.D.
