- Sudden death of Rev. E[dward] B[ates]
SAUNDERS
- At 10:45 a. m., last Thursday morning,
we were greatly shocked to receive a telegram
- from Mrs. SAUNDERS, then at
Washington, D. C., telling of the sudden death of her husband,
Rev. E. B. SAUNDERS, from acute indigestion. We know
nothing further of the particulars as to his last hours on earth.
On the Tuesday before, Secretary SAUNDERS was in Plainfield
[NJ] on his way to conference with his wife and daughter, making
the trip to Salem, W. Va., in their automobile. It was their
purpose to stop in Washington. They left here [Plainfield]
Tuesday and this sad telegram was the next word that reached
us. It states that burial will be at Milton, Wis.
- All hearts will go out in sympathy
for the wife, son and daughter so suddenly bereaved.
- The General Conference that convenes
next Tuesday will deeply mourn the denomination's loss, and its
sessions will be so saddened as it sits under the shadow of so
great a sorrow. [Vol. 81, No. 8, p. 227]
