west with her parents to West Hallock, Ill., and 10 years later,
at the age of 17, she came to Milton, Wis., and entered Milton
academy. While quite young, Miss SAUNDERS showed a talent
for music which was later encouraged and developed by study and
teaching. While a student at Milton academy, she was always active
in musical circles. She was a student of the New England Conservatory
of Music at Boston, Mass. On Feb. 16, 1874, Miss SAUNDERS

director of the state geological survey, his work taking him
all over the state. Twenty years later they moved to Milton,
where they lived for five years, and then moved to Alfred, N.Y.,
where Mr. CRANDALL taught in the university at that place.
In 1903 they again returned to Milton, where they have since
made their home, and where Mr. CRANDALL taught in Milton
college up until a few years ago.
