In Brookfield, N. Y., Monday, May 20, 1895, Anna Ruhama Saunders, aged 73 years.
Sister Saunders was one of those who, while seeing little of the world, helped to brighten it. For nearly half a century she has been an invalid, and for nineteen years had been unable to walk. Yet as long as yer mind was untouched she was a patient sufferer, and a true counselor. She early found her Saviour, having been baptized by Eld. Eli S. Bailey at the age of ten. For sixty-three years she has been a faithful member of the Brookfield Seventh-day Baptist Church, and she had great interest in the affairs of the denomination and loved to see it prosper. There survive her two brothers, Dr. J. M. Saunders, of Dodge Centre, Minn., and L. Artemas Saunders, of Brookfield; three sisters, Sarah E. and E. Sophia of Brookfield, and Phoebe Saunders of Waterville, N. Y.
