 Includes NotesNotes for Lucy Olmon Sanders:
In 1910,Lucy was visiting her cousin in Little Rock. She met Solomon, who was working as a soda jerk and attending law school. She and her cousin stopped by the pharmacy and her cousin introduced her to him. She was initially attracted to him because of his curly dark hair. They had a home wedding in Forrest City after a brief courtship. They honeymooned at the Marian Hotel in Little Rock. He had graduated, so they moved to Forrest City and he opened a private law practice. She taught school.

Forrest City childhood: She had one sister and seven brothers. She was 18 years younger than her older sister, and was spoiled by all her brothers. Uncle Jim asked her if he could miss her wedding, as he had a baseball game scheduled at the same time.
When she was young, she was known as that mean little Sanders girl, because she played tricks on people passing by. When Dorothy Jean, Lucy's grand daughter, was a baby years later, a black woman came to work in the house on Rosser street. This woman talked about a mean little girl that used to scare her as she left work, by pulling a stuffed black stocking on a string across the sidewalk in front of her. It looked just like a snake. Maw-Maw admitted to her, "Well, that was me." She took the job anyway, figuring that Maw Maw was nicer now.
