SANDS is a farmer and stock-raiser residing on section 4, Oregon Township, and the owner of eight acres of fine farm land. He is a native of East Tennessee, born Jan. 8, 1848, and is the son of B. R. and Rosanna (Henderson) Sands, the former a native of Tennessee and of English descent, the latter a native of North Carolina and of Scotch descent. They were among the early settlers of Washington County, emigrating from East Tennessee in 1851, settling in Oregon Township, where the former still resides, making his home in the village of Ainsworth, and enjoying the fruits of a well-spent life. The latter died June 20, 1887. (See sketch of B.R. Sands elsewhere in this volume). The subject of this sketch came with his parents to Washington County, Iowa, when but three years of age, and here grew to manhood and received his education in the common schools of his adopted State and county. His whole life has been spent upon the farm, and he is regarded by all as a good practical farmer. On the 11th of August, 1870, he was untied in marriage with Miss Melinda E. Henderson, a native of Tennessee, born in 1849, and daughter of John and Esther Henderson. By this union there have been eight children, of whom the living are: Bessie C., Annette, Myrtle I., Charles C., Ella M. and Nora B. Mr. Sands, as already intimated, has spent his whole life in Washington County. Coming to the county four years before a railroad had been built in the State, and when settlements were few and far between, confined principally to the prairies, he has lived to witness the many great changes that have been made, and to perform his part in bringing them all about. Growing up in Oregon Township, he is well known by all its citizens, and has been honored by them with many of the local offices, which he has filled to the entire satisfaction of all. While not numbered among the very wealthy men of Washington county, he is yet in comfortable circumstances, and that which he has is the result of his own labors, assisted in part by his good wife. Mr. and Mrs. Sands are consistent members of the United Presbyterian Church. Politically, he is a Republican, and takes much interest in all political affairs."
