Sanders 15 Melinda M. Sanders 12 Cora Sanders 8 Nathan Sanders 5 Robert Lee Sanders 2 There are a few errors on his death certificate, says place of birth was W. Virginia. mother's maiden name is spelled wrong but phonetically right, place of burial is Turner burying ground. I believe he probably is in Farmer cemetery with his wives. He is not on an old listing of Farmer cemetery. I have found Farmer cemetery refered to as Rufus Farmer cemetery. It does not make sense that he is buried somewhere else.
