CHARLES G. SANDERS was born in Greene County, Ind., February 1, 1841, son of
John and Mary A. (Jessup) Sanders.  The father was a native of North Carolina,
and the mother of the same State.  John Sanders, father of John, subject's
father, was a native of North Carolina, who came with his family to Greene
County, Ind., in about 1819.  The mother's father, Caleb Jessup, also came from
North Carolina about the same year, both families settling in Eel River
Township, where they reared large families, and where they ever afterward
resided.  They endured many hardships and privations, and were highly respected
by all who knew them.  Subject's parents married in Eel River Township, and
they had eleven children, four of whom are now living.  Both parents are dead.
The father died in 1860, and the mother in 1880.  Subject was reared upon a
farm, and had a common school education.  In 1861, he enlisted in Company A,
Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry.  He served three years. He was at the
siege of Corinth, the battles of Corinth, Jackson, Champion Hills, the charge
of Vicksburg on May 22, 1863, and siege of Vicksburg, and in a number of lesser
engagements.  After his term of enlistment was out, he returned home, and for
some six years was engaged in farming.  He then began in the livery business in
Worthington, in which business he remained about eight years, and then engaged
in mercantile pursuits, in which he has since remained.  He keeps a general
stock of groceries, and is doing a good and steadily increasing business.  He
married  Miss Mary J. Dickey September 7, 1870.  She was born in Webster
County, Ky., in 1853.  From this union, one daughter -- Katie M. -- was born.
Subject is a Republican, and a member of the G. A. R.  He favors good schools,
and all enterprises that tend to build up the community in which he lives or
benefits his fellow-man.
