"Saul," as his friends knew him, was known all long the Great Northern between Whitefish and Williston, his long years of service giving him friends and acquaintances in every town, and a knowledge of the early railroad history such as few others have. His service and general life were filled with many acts of kindness, and the traveling public will miss a familiar and courteous figure.
Mr. Saulsbury was a member of the Order of Railway Conductors joining Aug 2, 1902. He was also member of the Elks lodge both of Harve.
