ers Of Bedford county, Virginia.
They resided upon their Franklin
county farm twenty years and there
eight children were born to them.
The two oldest died in infancy, but
six came with them to North Dakota
in the spring Of 1886. A farm about
three miles from Gladstone was the
home of the Saunders family for the
next ten years. Captain Saunders
was elected clerk of the court in
November, 1896, and purchased a
residence on 1st Street North, which
was their home until MI. Saunders
retired from office in 1913.
During her residence in Dick
inson Mrs. Saunders saw two
of her daughters laid to rest in the
Dickinson cemetery-Mollie T., who
died in December, 1898; and Ida, Mrs.
c. E. Allen, who passed away October
9th, 1910.
Mr. and Mrs. Saunders spent the
winter of 1884 with their daughter,
Mrs. J. H. Palmer, at the old home
farm in Virginia and in the fall of
1914 returned there to spend their de-
clining years in the home of their
youth. Mr.. Saunders was privileged
to enjoy his old Southern home only
a few weeks, dying in October, 1914,
and Mrs. Saunders has been an in

In her youth Mrs. Saunders vas a
member Of the Baptist church; but
when she came to Dickinson she
joined the Congregational church, of
which she remained always a loyal
and consistent member. Mrs. Saund-
ers was primarily a home maker and
her greatest happiness was found in
the midst of her family. Yet her in
terest and effort included the church,
the neighborhood and the circle of her
acquaintance and she made for her.
self a large place in many hearts.
She leaves besides two brothers and
two sisters in Virginia, four children,
Ola, Mrs. Henry Cooke, and Kheda,
Mrs. A. J. Osborn, of this city; T. C.
Saunders of Killdeer; and Sabra,
Mrs. J. H. Palmer, with whom she
resided.
It was impossible for any Of the
Dickinson members of the family to
reach the old home in time for the
funeral-probably Friday. The inter-
ment was in the family burial ground.
All the children had visited their
mother during her year of illness.
Mrs. Osborn went down in February
and remained until April; Mrs. Cooke
was there from March until August;
and T. G. Saunders vas down in June.
