"reminiscences of the
Late Ex-Governor u
Alvin Saunders

The following interview with the late ex
Governor Alvin Saunders, is reprinted from
The Sunday Bee of January &C. 1896, in which
1t appeared over the name Of Victor Rose
water, with whom the conversation took
place. The proof was at the time submitted
to Governor Saunders, who, in note sug
gesting few changes, wrote to the author:
"You have a remarkably good memory
and have quoted our conversation more ac-
curately than anyone l know who did not
use his pencil at the time One thing was
wrong and that is that it was General James
D. Henry and not Colonel But in the
does not make much difference. But In the
case of the four children, I would like that
to be changed for they were not all boys,
and as one, IL not two Of them, are regular
readers of The Bee, they would no doubt
like to see 1t changed as 1 have Indicated"
How you young men have grown almost
cut of ones recolection!"
The speaker was x-Governor Alvin Saund-
ers. We were riding in the sleeping car on
our way from Lincoln to Omaha. We had
both been in attendance upon the meetings
of the Nebraska State Historical society,"
where the ex-governor had been renewing
acquaintance with number of his oldtime
friends Of early territorial days.
To look at his robust figure, his keen eye
and his clear complexion, the very picture OF
healthy old age no one would for moment
imagine that the venerable ex-governor and
ex-senator is nearing his 10th birthday. In
his long and active career in Iowa and In the
territory and state of Nebraska he has been
identified with nearly every important move
ment for the promotion of the public well
fare and on subjects connected with the
states history he is a veritable mine Of in
formation.
On the day to which 1 have alluded Mr..
Saunders was in a particularly reminiscent
mood and he is never so interesting as when
telling of the experiences of his earlier
life.
"Do you know how Ashland came to be
in Saunders county?" asked the governor, as
we approached that picturesque little town.

chair, way back in the CO.'S. Ashland was

an excellent likeness Of the late Alvin Saun-

public career being inseparably interviewer
with the progress OF the state. Honored
with many Offices within the gift Of the peo-

state OF Nebraska to the very day of his
peaceful death. In another column we give
