    A. S. Saunders - The subject of this sketch was born in the town of Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., Oct. 30, 1814. He is the son of Augustus and Eunice (Lewis) Saunders. The former was born in Westerly, R. I., and the latter in Hopkinton City, R. I. The father of our subject came to Brookfield with his father (also named Augustus,) and mother, in the year 1800. They settled on Lot 62 and the parents lived there until they died. Augustus (2d) learned the carpenter and joiner's trade and followed that business and farming, as long as he could work. He died in Brookfield in 1868, aged 83 years. His wife died in 1861, aged 70 years. They had ten children, named as follows: Augustus L., James M., John Vars, Eunice C., dead, Anna R., Aretas and Artemas, twins, the former now dead, Sarah E., E. Sophia and Phoebe L.

    In Brookfield, N. Y., March 23d, 1868, of congestion of the lungs, Augustus Saunders, aged 88 years, 8 months, and 11 days. The deceased was formerly from Westerly, R. I., and removed to this town in the year 1800. During the sixty-eight years of his residence here, he had secured by his honesty and integrity the respect and esteem of all who knew him. During all this time he maintained a Christian character and was one of the thirty-three who composed the 2d Seventh-day Baptist Church at its organization in 1823, and remained faithful until the last. He died in the bosom of his family, surrounded by his children, (his companion having gone on before him) sinking quietly to sleep in Jesus, and we trust he is now present with them in Glory.
