SANDERS
SANDER P. SANDERS, whose parents had come from Norway some two years earlier, was born in 1858 in Lanesboro, Minnesota. In 1879 he married BETSY MARY JOHNSON, born May 2, 1860, also at Lanesboro. To this union were born Peter, Julius, Clara, Albert, and Arthur.
Mr. Sanders, with son Peter and Julius, came by rail to Wetaskiwin and by wagon to the Bittern Lake district in 1901, and built a small home on the NE-33-46-21-W4, land which he had purchased from the CPR on October 19, 1900. He filed on a homestead, SW-34, close by. He returned to Lanesboro in the fall. There, in early February, 1902, the Sanders family were given a great farewell by a host of friends and neighbours. The original quarter, NE-33, has been in the Sanders family ever since, the present owner being a grandson, Carl Sanders.
Sander P. Sanders passed away in 1904. Some years later his widow marred widower Alois Fetzner; he died two years later (1924). Mary lived until 1948.
Peter Sanders engaged in lumber yard work, especially at Alliance; a son, Ernest, lived in Camrose. Albert Sanders became a druggist, graduating in pharmacy in Winnipeg in 1910. He operated pharmacies in and around Camrose, also going into farming south of Camrose. He married Mae Cole, from Nebraska. Clara Sanders married William John Wilson, an early homesteader south-west of the lake. Here they lived for four or five years, their eldest daughter being born during that time. They then moved to the Lougheed area.
Carl Julius Sanders rode in Francois Adam's 1902 round-up; in 1904 he played on the first hockey team in Sparling. In 1909 he married Ludella (Dell) McLarty. [...]
Sanders married Berte Marie JOHNSON, daughter of Ole JOHNSON and Gjertrud Andersdatter KJOS, on 25 Nov 1879 in Fillmore County, MN.1 (Berte Marie JOHNSON was born on 2 May 1860 in Fillmore County, MN 3, baptized in Elstad and died in 1948 in Canada.)
