"The Milton Journal", Milton, Wisconsin, Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1895, p 1.
Gardner Saunders died at his home near Milton, Wisconsin, December 9, of dropsy, complicated with other bodily disorders, aged 71 years, 10 months and 10 days. He was born in Verona, N. Y. In 1844 he was married to Miss Sarah Crosby, who survives him together with four children - to wit: Mrs. Mary Heritage of Big Foote, Ill., Alban G. Saunders of Redlands, Cal., Mrs. Alvira Clarke of South Dakota, and Russel H. Saunders of Milton. He moved west in 1846 and for 48 years had lived on the farm where he died. He experienced religion when a youth and was baptized into the membership of the S. D. B. church at Verona, N. Y. On coming to Milton he transferred his membership to the S. D. B. church here of which he was a member at the time of his death. He was industrious, thrifty, intelligent and truthful, and was highly esteemed for the qualities which combined to make him a worthy citizen. For a number of years he was a member of the school board in his district, and his associates now speak of him as always having been on the right side of every question that would arise. During his last sickness, which lasted for some 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 that he could recall. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. M. Dunn, and were held at his late residence, Wednesday, December 11.
