Oct 1900
Harriet E Saunders was born Feb. 20th 1839, in Palmyra, Wayne county N. Y., and died at her home in Wheatland, Thursday, Oct 4th, 1900. With her parents in her sixteenth year she came to Michigan, settling in Wheatland.
Nov. 5. 1856, she was united in marriage to Leonard H. Bailey. Two children were born to them, Clara, the wife of George Carpenter, and Dora, the wife of Dr. E. B. Sabin, who died seven years ago leaving a daughter, Hattie.
It was her mother's mission to care for the daughter through months of suffering.
In the home in which she died she has spent her wedded life, except one year and a half in Hudson, and though the beginning was humble God has dealt most graciously in this home, until at her death she was surrounded with the comforts and luxuries of life.
In 1867 she became a christian and was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church, and all her life since has been a faithful member; nothing but sickness of herself or faamily kept her from its appointments.
In the Women's Mission Circle she was an ever ready helper, her home being freely opened for its meetings.
Her sickness has been long and painful, and c?lured with christian grace.
Her funeral was from the Baptist Church at church, last Saturday afternoon, Rev T. F. Smith, of this city officating.
