- SAUNDERS
- At his home near Milton, Wis., Dec 9, 1895, of dropsy, complicated
- with other bodily disorders, Gardner
SAUNDERS, aged 71 years, 10 months and 10 days. Deceased
was born in Verona, N.Y. In 1844 he married Miss Sarah CROSBY,
who with 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters, are still living.
He moved west in 1846, and for 48 years had lived on the farm
where he died. Bro. SAUNDERS experienced religion when
a youth and was baptized into the membership of the Seventh-day
Baptist Church at Verona. On coming to Milton he transferred
his membership to this church, of which he was a member at the
time of his death. He was industrious, thrifty, intelligent,
truthful and honest, and was highly esteemed for the qualities
which combined to make him a worthy citizen. During his last
sickness, which lasted for several weeks, he entertained no hopes
of recovery, but turned his thoughts and prayers to God for mercy
and pardon for whatever delinquencies in his life he could recall.
The funeral services were conducted by his pastor. [Vol. 52,
