Wife of C.E.Saunders
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 46, No 32, p 512, Aug. 7, 1890.
Ellen M. (Allen) Saunders, was born in Hartsville, Steuben Co., N. Y., Sept. 18, 1866, and died July 27, 1890, at Albion, Wis. Her age was 23 years, 10 months and 9 days.
She belonged to a family of four children. When she was about 7 years old her mother died, and they soon moved to this place, where she has remained ever since. After the death of her mother her aunt, Miss Potter, has had charge of her. From her childhood she has had a kind and affectionate disposition. During the great revival here, held by Eld. Huffman, she put on Christ by baptism and joined this church. This beautiful ceremony was performed Feb. 3, 1877, when 17 were buried with Christ. The following day 16 more were baptized. What a glorious time for this church that was! At the age of 11 she commenced the Christian course. She was married to Chas. E. Saunders Apr. 19, 1890. She was a member of the Y. P. S. C. E., and befitting recognition of this was had at the funeral exercises, in having the bearers chosen from among the members of the Society, and also as many ladies from the same, dressed in white, and wearing badges, who followed the bearers. The grave was as appropriately adorned. How sad the thought, that only about three months after the pastor stood before her and the happy participants to unite her with her companion in the bond of wedlock, he stood beside the remains to say the last words of condolence to the bereaved. May God help us all to be ready for our last change. W. H. E.
