Excerpt from Memorial Record of Distinguished Men of Indianapolis and Indiana

At Landersdale, Morgan county, Indiana, a place named in honor of the family of which he was a member, Franklin Landers was born on the 22nd of March, 1825, and was a son of William and Delilah (stone) Landers, both of whom were natives of Virginia, and both of whom passed the closing years of their lives in Morgan county, Indiana, which was their place of abode during the entire period of their residence in this state. The writer of this memoir had occasion at a recent date to prepare brief data concerning the Landers family, and from the context thus formulated are made, without formal quotation, the pertinent extracts which are properly reproduced in this connection.

Excerpt from Memorial Record of Distinguished Men of Indianapolis and Indiana

This was done, and James D. Williams, of Knox county, was nominated without opposition. In 1880, in a memorable state campaign, Mr. Landers was the Demo cratic candidate for governor, the result insuring the state to Garfield at the presi dential election in November of that year.

The great, generous heart of Mr. Landers ever pulsated in sympathy with afllic tion and distress, and he exemplified in all the relations of life the deep Christian faith which was inherent in his nature. After coming to Indianapolis he identified himself with the old Third Presbyterian church and for a number of years prior to his demise he was one of the most zealous and honored members of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church, with which his widow is still actively identified as one of its most devoted and earnest members. Mr. Landers was for many years actively affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and was the organizer of the lodge of that order in Brooklyn, the village which he founded. Concerning him the following appreciative words have been written: He was noted for his liberal giving to all charitable objects, and much was given so quietly that the world did not know the extent of it. His kind heart made him an easy prey to beggars, and even the most undeserving was seldom turned away empty-handed.
