In Westerly, near Niantic, R. I., Dec. 29, 1881, Samuel Saunders, aged 74 years and 1 month. Bro Saunders retired at night in his usual health, which has always been good, slept well through the night, awoke in the morning as usual, talked with his wife of his plans for the day, and, without a single premonitory symptom, or any apparent struggle, breathed his last. In early life, Bro. Saunders became a Christian, uniting with the First Seventh day Baptist Church of Hopkinton. Soon after the organization of the little Church known as the Second Westerly, he transferred his membership to it. Thenceforward, it was the object of his constant care, and often of prayerful solicitude. He will be much missed in all its gatherings for worship and business. He reared a family of seven children - three sons and four daughters - all of whom, save one son, together with their widowed mother, survive him. His funeral was attended at the meeting-house by a large company of people from the village and surrounding communities, on the last day of the old year, when Eld. Horace Stillman, the present missionary pastor of the Church, conducted the services, Eld. Henry Clarke, the former pastor, Geo. B. Utter of Westerly, and Eld. S. S. Griswold of Hopkinton, assisting. The writer of this paragraph, by request of the family, preached the sermon from 2 Cor. 5: 1.
