Mabel Sanderson (1891) was born in Nebraska to Daniel and Anna Sanderson. 

She was married to [[james_arthur_shirley_1878|James Shirley]] on 28 December 1910 in Norton, Kansas.

====Residences====

Mabel first appears on the record in the 1900 census living with her parents and three siblings in Norton, Kansas, although she was born in Nebraska.((https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMYZ-7LT)) In December of 1910 she wed James Shirley and they are listed as residing together with two children on the 1915 Kansas Census.((https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGFT-M92W))

In 1924 the family moved to Furnas County, Nebraska.((http://www.allengarrido.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=jamesarthurshirleyobit.jpg)) The Shirley family would live in Holbrook in Furnas County for the next 22 years.

After her husband died in 1946, Mabel moved to Norton, Kansas sometime in 1948.((http://www.allengarrido.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=mabelshirleywork1948.jpg)) She was there as late as 1950.((http://www.allengarrido.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=mabelshirleynorton1950.jpg))

====Education====

In 1900, 9 year old Mabel is listed as having attended school for six months out of the past year, and as being able to read and write.((https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MMYZ-7LT))

====Employment====

Sometime before 1905, Mabel's father died and she is listed as being employed in the 1905 Kansas Census.((https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPZT-Z9QT)) 

It seems that after the death of her husband, Mabel had to find work, because in 1947 she was working part-time in the Wolfe Cafe in Holbrook, Nebraska.((http://www.allengarrido.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=mabelshirleywork1947.jpg)) In 1948 she was working in Norton, Kansas.((http://www.allengarrido.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=mabelshirleywork1948.jpg))

====Death====

Mabel was killed in 1979 when she was struck by a car in Pflugerville, Texas, just north of Austin.
