As a young girl she attended a country school near Milligan. During her high school years, she participated with her family in many Czech plays around the area, directed by her father. After her high school graduation from Milligan High School she received her teaching certificate and taught rural country schools near Milligan for a few years. Marie met John H. Stewart when he returned from serving in the US Army and they were united in marriage on September 12, 1944 in Wilber and to this union two children, Rose Marie and John L. were born.
Together they made their home on John's grandfather's farm where they lived their entire life. Marie was a busy mother and farm wife, helping John with the farming and especially enjoyed driving the tractor. She raised chickens, baby calves, and taking care of the cattle. Marie was never without her seed corn cap and work gloves. She was a very strong willed woman, a hard worker, a good cook and enjoyed providing for her family. In her later years, she loved her cats.
Marie and John enjoyed going to dances which created many memories for Marie and her family. Many hours were spent at family gatherings. She loved pitch and playing cards with her family and friends.
Marie is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Rose and Dennis Melby, Fairmont, son and daughter-in-law, John and JoAnn Stewart, Friend, granddaughter and spouse, Rondalin and Brett Wells, Beatrice, five great-grandchildren, twins, Calvin and Camille and Reese, Triston and Madelynn, all of Beatrice, sister, Rose Marie Cecrle, Daykin, many nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.

Rose Marie Cecrle was born on a farm near Milligan, Nebr on August 25, 1921 to Joseph and Rosie (Vejraska) Sadlo. She was the youngest of 5 children.
Rose attended grade school at climbing Vine country school., District #44 in Fillmore county. She started school early as she was always running away after her siblings and waiting for them on the school steps, so her Mother just enrolled her. Her childhood was during the depression. She said we didn't realize we were poor because everybody was. She graduated at the age of 16 from Milligan High School in 1938. Rose was proud of the fact that their class was the first to wear caps and gowns for the graduation ceremony. Rose took normal training in high school, which enabled her to teach at the age of 16, at District #44 for 3 years. She then took summer classes at Peru State College and taught another 3 years at Opossum Hill School District # 77, making life time friends of her students. She then went to Lincoln and worked as a house keeper. She enjoyed going to dances with the military boys. Rose then returned home to take care of her elderly mother.
On October 18, 1945 Rose married Frank Cecrle at the courthouse in Lincoln. Frank was 10 years older than Rose and had known her as a child. He played in a band with her brothers. He always said he had to wait until she grew up to marry her. The couple purchased a 240 acre farm east of Daykin where she resided till 2 weeks before her death. Rose helped with all the farm work: operating farm equipment, driving grain trucks, taking care of farm chores. She was an active partner, even hand picking corn. They raised chickens, and hand milked cows. She said the cream and egg money paid off the farm. They raised sheep, and later discovered she was allergic to wool. Rose always had a huge garden and canned the produce.
They raised 3 childred, Dean, Barbara, Joyce.
Rose played a very active part in her family life, taking on the role of business leader of the family and keeping detailed records of life. She was involved in her children's lives serving as school car pool driver, 4-H leader, volunteer for church and school activities. Rose was a faithful member of the Daykin United Methodist Church. She held numerous committee positions and was recognized with the Unsung Saint Certificate. Rose taught a Sunday School class till the age of 85.
Rose & Frank loved to polka and waltz. They went dancing nearly every week with friends. They enjoyed traveling and took many bus tours. Mom always said "go while you can". They even went to Hawaii for a NE football game and weren't even hard core fans. For their 50th Anniversary they celebrated with the whole family on a Caribbean cruise. Her 80th birthday was celebrated with an Alaska family cruise.
Rose was a very competitive card player and pitch was the name of her game. She was a charter member of the Daykin Senior Citizens Card group. Rose taught her grandkids and great grandkids to play pitch, muggins, Chinese checkers, and a wild game of spoons.
You were always welcomed at Rose's home and never left hungry. She was proud of her Czech heritage and was well known for her kolaches, rolls, and dumplings. It was a tradition to have Grandma's mints at any special occasion and you always took one early because they went fast. For many years her home was the gathering place for holiday gatherings, staying at Grandma's was always fun. She was adored by the grandkids and she always encouraged them and told them what a good kid they were. Rose loved to active, she lovingly embroidered quilts. She made one for each child, grandchild, and great grandchild.
Rose is preceded in death by her husband Frank, son Dean, and great grandson Samuel Gudenkauf. Her parents Joseph & Rose (Vejraska) Sadlo, step mother Frances (Kreshel) , Rudy (Maggie), Jerry (Velma), Joe, Marie (John) Stewart.

To Pay Final Respects Today to John Sandham
Cass City lost one of its pioneer businessmen and civic leaders Monday when John A. Sandham, 87, died at Hills and Dales General Hospital.
Mr. Sandham was active in the business and civic life of the community for over a half century. He was a familiar sight on country roads as he actively conducted his insurance business until he became ill about a month ago.
He served for 15 years as a member and president of the Cass City School Board. He was a member of the village council for 25 years.
Mr. Sandham was a member of the Cass City Rotary Club and served the organization so ably that he was honored at a special party given by fellow members in his honor. A moment of silence in his honor was observed by the club Tuesday.
Mr. Sandham and his wife were room-size contributors to Hills and Dales General Hospital. Each "room gift" required a donation of at least $5,000.

The Social Security Applications and Claims index for Eddie Sandifer shows his birth date as 17 August 1917, and date of death as 2 February 1990. This matches the dates on Find A Grave. The Find A Grave page contains a photo of his Military Marker, showing he served as a Private in the US Army during World War II. His parents on Find A Grave are shown as John L and Edna L Sandifer, and his spouse listed as Eunice L Sandifer (27 April 1902 -5 October 1988-died in Oneonta, Blount, Alabama). It appears he was born three days before his mother, Edna Gerald Sandifer died, presumably of complications of childbirth.
At the time of the 1930 Federal Census, he was living in Franklin County, Mississippi, Beat 3, in the home of John L Sandifer and his second wife, Vernie, along with his two younger half sisters, Bernice and Irene.
His U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 instead shows him as born 1918 in Mississippi, divorced with dependents, a resident of Adams, Mississippi, completed 3 years of high school, working as an attendant at filling stations and parking lots, and enlisting at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, Service Number 34344035, Heigth 66 inches and weight 132 pounds
Irene Sandifer Mullen (Punk), 88, passed away on June 23, 2015 in her home in Houston, Texas, surrounded by family.
Irene was born on July 26, 1926 in Franklin County, MS and grew up in the sawmill town of Quentin. She married William (Bill) Mullen, her hometown sweetheart, in 1952. The couple made their home in Houston, Texas, where she was a homemaker. Irene, Bill, and their daughters attended Richmond Plaza Baptist Church in Bellaire, TX for many years. In 2001, the Mullens joined Tallowood Baptist Church, where they were active members of the Sonshine sunday school class. They resided in the Westchester subdivision in the Memorial area, where Irene enjoyed playing in the neighborhood bridge group. She was an avid sports fan and loved watching the Astros and the Texans. She made pancakes every Saturday for all who would come by. She was a wonderful wife and mother and grandmother and will be missed by all.
She is survived by her two children: Kim Mullen and Sherry Mullen Strong (and husband Paul), both of Houston, TX; one "adopted daughter" Julia Ingram of Houston; four beloved grandchildren: Chris Crumby (and wife Jean), Keri Crumby, Elizabeth Strong Alvarez (and husband Jonathan), and Billy Strong; three great grandchildren: Hudson and Keegan Crumby and JD Alvarez. She is also survived by her sweet older sister, Bernice Kent of Pascagoula, MS, and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to especially thank the staff at Houston Hospice for their compassionate care for our mom during her final days.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Tallowood Baptist Church, 555 Tallowood Road, Houston, TX 77024. The family will receive visitors an hour before the service.

A contributor to FamilySearch shows that James was in 36th MS Inf. Co. A per MS Confederate records. In www.civil-war.net I found a J.K. Sandifer in 1st Regement Miss. Inf. State Troops (King's) in company B as a Private.
He is also shown on this website as a son of Jesse William Sandifer (1809-1878) and Missouri Mariah Bishop (1814-1889).
On the 1950 Census, he was shown as a logging superintendant at a saw mill.
Find A Grave, Memorial ID 54708446, shows him as a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sandifer. He appears to have been married twice, first to Edna L Gerald (1883-1917) and later to Vernon Gupton (1890-1973).
When he registered for the World War I draft, he listed his place of birth as Pike County, Mississippi, and his current home address as 1 RFD, Barto, Mississippi. He was married and had three children, and was farming for himself in Barto. He was of medium heighth and build, with grey eyes and light colored hair.
His memorial page on FindAGrave, created by Kathy Bergold, shows him as a son of Jeff and Ida McDaniel Sandifer, and husband of Alice W. OTT.

From Wikipedia
Fernando Sanford (1854 ? 1948) was an American physicist and university professor. He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) for Stanford University.
Sanford was born on a farm near Franklin Grove in Lee County, Illinois on February 12, 1854. He was the son of Faxton and Maria Mariah (Bly) Sanford. He attended Carthage College, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 1879. He taught school until the mid-1880s, then studied physics in Germany under Hermann von Helmholtz for two years.
Returning to the United States, he became a Professor of Physical Science at Lake Forest College. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University, chose him as one of the founding professors for Stanford, where he remained until his retirement in 1919.
At Stanford he was the founder and first president of the Science Association. He was an early promoter of the use of laboratory instruction for undergraduates. He also helped to formulate the entrance requirements for Stanford.
His book Elements of Physics (published in 1902, digitized in 2007) was an important textbook in the field. Other books and monographs included The Scientific Method And Its Limitations (1899), The Electrical Charges of Atoms and Ions (1919), A Physical Theory of Electrification, and How To Study; Illustrated Through Physics.
His interest in electricity led to his construction of a "terrestrial electric observatory," whose results were published over many years in his Bulletin of the Terrestrial Electric Observatory of Fernando Sanford. His research included an early type of electric photography.
His former residence is now one of the most important structures in the historic district of Professorville in Palo Alto, California.
