In 1882, when a boy of 16 years, he came to America, and directly to Quincy. He worked in the country about [area around] Quincy for some time, and attended school that he might learn the English language. As a young man, he was employed by the Miller & Arthur Drug company, and later, by the Aldo Somner Drug company.
For the past 21 years, Mr. Sander had been a successful grocer of Quincy. After being in business for two years, at Sixth and Vine streets where he bought out the Will Gravelle stock, he went into business at Sixth and Elm street, and had his store there for 17 years. For the past two years, the Sander grocery store has been located at Twentieth and Maine streets.
In Masonic circles, Mr. Sander will be greatly missed. He was past master of Quincy lodge, A. F. & A. M., No. 296; was one of the directors of the Masonic Temple association; member of Alpha chapter, Order of the Eastern Star; and an honorary member of Lambert lodge. Mr. Sander always took an active interest in civic affairs, and while interested in politics, never held an office.
On July 4 1899, he was married to Laura Weiss, and to them, six children were both, all of whom, with the widow, survive. The children are: Robert, Wilton, Olga, Doris, Helen, and George Jr.
Mr. Sander's father, brother, and sister are in Germany, although no word has been heard from them since the beginning of the war. Mr. Sander attended the Kentucky street M. E. church. The funeral services will be held Sunday, though no definite time has been set.
