wife of Isaac Saunders
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 40, No 12, p 5, Mar. 20, 1884.
Martha A. Holmes Saunders was born in Petersburg, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., Jan. 18, 1818, and died in Adams, N. Y., March 5. 1884. She was the daughter of Ezra S. Holmes, of the former place. In 1837, she was married to Isaac Saunders who survives her. In 1844, they moved to Adams, where they have since resided. Five sons were born to them, all of whom are living.
In early life she experienced religion, and, though never having united with the church, she maintained her love for the cause and her interest in the worship of God. She was always a strict observer of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. Deprived of church privileges in the latter years of her life, through physical infirmities, she did not lose her desire 'to go up to the house of the Lord.' As a neighbor and a friend none knew her but to love her.
