"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 20, No 41, p 163, Oct. 13, 1864.
At Adams, N.Y., Oct. 2d, 1864, Isaac Saunders, aged 81 years. Bro. Saunders had been in the enjoyment of usual health until about the first of August, when he seemed to fall into a decline, his strength gradually leaving him. His death, however, was quite sudden. Less than an hour before, he walked from one room to another, when lying down, he quietly breathed his last. He was born in Rhode Island, but at an early age removed with his parents to Rensselaer Co., N. Y. He there united with the Berlin Church, but subsequently removed to Adams. He was a substantial Christian, a strong man in community, one whose consel had been habitually sought and confided in by many. We feel that another father in Israel has fallen. There is only left to us the sacred memory and the power of his Christian life and example. Although there is a sadness connected with the death of such an one, yet it is pleasent,though mournful, for we can but see a beauty and a fitness in it, that the aged Christian, with his labors done, should be gathered in with the gathering of the autumn harvests.
