Tressie Jane Sanders is my great grandmother.  Tressie was born on December 16, 1901 in Mitchell, Cross, Arkansas to Mitchell (d. 1920) and Parthenia Adaline Mitchell (1879-1966).  In 1910 and 1920, Tressie was living in Big Creek, Fulton, Arkansas.  On July 30, 1930 Tressie married Austin Rochester Carrico in Howell County, Missouri.  According to the 1930's census, Tressie was lived in Calico Rock, Izard, Arkansas.  Tressie and Austin welcomed their first child, a son, in 1934 who is still living.  Two years later, Tressie gave birth to another son Joda Mace (1936-2011).  The following year, Tressie and Austin had another son A. Dell (1937-2004; who is my grandfather).   Tressie and Austin would have one more child, a daughter born in 1940.  Tressie died just days after giving birth on December 11, 1940 at the age of 38.  Tressie is buried in Hebron Cemetery in Mitchell, Arkansas.
