Saunders 80-year-old resident of the Sunny Crest District, and a continuous resident of that community since 1902. Born in Ontario in July, [1858], Mr. Saunders was educated in that province. When 13 years of age, he left school to work for his dad in his sawmill in West Lampton. For the next 30 years Mr. Saunders was engaged in this lumber business, operating a constantly expanding concern. He had 25 men employed there, before leaving Ontario in 1902 to come to Lacombe. Mr. Saunders homesteaded a quarter section nine miles west of town the first year he was here and also purchased a half section of C.P.R. land in 1902--land which he still cultivates. He owned and operated the first steam threshing machine in that vicinity, and for the purpose of hauling the heavy machine from one farm to another, many miles of the roads in the Sunny Crest district were built in the corduroy style of the old days. Mr. Saunders was married in Ontario before the turn of the century, and he remarried in 1901 when his first wife died. He has eight children living in this district: Mrs. Herb Dool, Mrs. D. Smith, Mrs. W. Swanson, Mrs. L. Morter, and Leslie, Absalom, Howard and Albert.
