Saunders at his home in this village at the age of 78 years. He was one of the early settlers of Waukesha county and first made his home on a farm in the town of Menomonee, where he resided until about six years ago. His death resulted from paralysis from which he has suffered for a year or more. Mr. Saunders was a native of New York and was married at Brockport in that state to Catherine Beedle June 11, 1844. During the same year they took up their home in this state. His wife and a son, Lyman L. Saunders of Milwaukee, and a daughter, Mrs. A. A. Oliver of Fall River, Wis., survive him. Mr. Saunders was one of the first justices of the peace in Menomonee, and the preliminary hearing in the Bonham murder case, the first in the county, was before him. In politics he was a staunch Republican. The funeral will be held on Friday at 2 P. M. and the services will be under the direction of Waukesha lodge, F. and A.
