Retired Williamson Daily News Reporter Dies

{Williamson, West Virginia}...Recently retired Williamson Daily News reporter Charlotte Sanders died Saturday at Appalachian Regional Hospital in South Williamson at the age of 90. Sanders started her career in radio in 1939, and a shortage of reporters at the Daily News during World War II led to her hiring in 1943. She worked for the Daily News for 68 years before retiring in 1987 at 65 and returning to work following her husband's death. Among the stories she covered were John F. Kennedy's visit to Williamson during the 1960 presidential election and President Lyndon B. Johnson's declaration of war on poverty during a 1964 trip to Martin County, Kentucky. Services will be held Friday at the East Williamson Baptist Church.
