Story
LLOYD WINFIELD SANDERS, the central figure of this story must have grown up in Montgomery County, but little is known about where or how. At age 18 he joined a wagon train headed for the Colorado Gold Mines. However, he had fallen in love with Nancy Goodson of Goodson's Prairie and they were engaged to be married. When he left Lloyd said: "I'm going to seek my fortune, I don't know how long I'll be gone, BUT I WILL RETURN and then we will be married."
At that time communication between Texas and Colorado was non-existent. As the years passed and Nancy Goodson did not hear from Lloyd Sanders, the man she had promised to marry, she received several proposals of marriage, but always said: "No, I promised Lloyd I would wait until he returned." After NINE YEARS, Lloyd did return to claim his bride. Lloyd and Nancy were married on July 13, 1886; Lloyd was 27 and Nancy was 26. To this union were born five children: Thomas A. "Tommie" born May 27, 1887; James Walker "Jimmie" born October 18, 1889; Delta, the only girl, was born August 1, 1894. In 1896 another boy was born but died as an infant. Rufus Fred, the baby of the family, was born October 18, 1899.
