Carrie Briggs, daughter of Asa Sheldon and Mary Caroline Burdick Briggs, was born April 22, 1860, at Ashaway, R. I., and died June 1945, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elwood Kenyon, in Alfred, N. Y. At the age of eighteen years she came to Alfred University where she met Earl Perry Saunders to whom she was married in 1882.
During seventy-five years of active church membership in the First Hopkinton and First Alfred Seventh Day Baptist churches, she has been an unceasing worker for the faith which she held.
Close survivors are her daughters, Mrs. Elwood Kenyon and Mrs. Thomas Henley, and two sons, Harold B. and Edward E. A prayer service was held at the home and farewell services were held at the church. Her pastor, Rev. E. T. Harris, officiated. Disposition of the ashes was made later.
