Sarah Jerusha Kynerd

Sarah Jerusha Sanderford was born December 30, 1860 at Meridian, Miss., and died in Palacios, March 2, 1939.

In 1881 she was married to S. D. Kynerd and to this union were born four children, three of whom survive; two sons, G. R. Kynerd, of Palacios and F. B. Kynerd, of Waco; and one daughter Mrs. Mike Alessenandro, with whom she had made her home since the death of her husband.

Mr. and Mrs. Kynerd moved from Mississippi to Texas and located in Bell County where they reared their family and lived until Mr. Kynerd passed away in May 1915. For fifty years Mrs. Kynerd had been a member of the Church of Christ and lived a consistent Christian life. She was a devoted mother, and loved by all who saw her. As she had lived in Palacios but a short time, very few of our citizens had learned to know her, but El Campo where she had lived for a number of years she had formed a large circle of friends, many of whom were here Friday for the services which were held at the Brandon-Duffy Funeral Chapel, among them Rev. A. W. DeGuire who officiated.

To the bereaved we extend our deepest sympathy.
