Bowen & Co., Chicago, Publishers ca. 1901-1903 'JAMES W. SAUNDERS - In the capital city of Maine, beautiful Augusta, on November 6, 1841, there was born to William and Elizabeth (Page) Saunders a son, to whom was given the name of James W. Saunders. Both of his parents were natives of Maine, where they passed their entire lives, the father having been a machinist. Of their six children, of whom three are now living, James W. was the fourth. After a good common-school education in his native city Mr. Saunders devoted three years to learning the machinist trade, and then went to Portland, where he worked as a journeyman for two years. In 1864 he came from Portland to St, Joseph Miss., thence to Omaha, where he secured transportation with a party starting for Montana. They arrived in Virginia City seventy-three days after they left Omaha. For a time Mr. Saunders worked in the placer mines in Alder gulch and was thereafter identified with ranching until 1869, when he returned east. In 1871 he again came to Montana and located in Radersburg, where he was engaged in mining for two years, and then came to Virginia City, and was employed in a meat market, later he was employed in a quartz mill at Park mountain for eight months. He next aided in the development of the Madison mine as a machinist. Finally he returned to his ranch near Ennis, which comprises 160 acres of valuable land. Its principal product is hay. In addition to his ranching and stockgrowing Mr. Saunders conducts a very successful blacksmithing business, having a well-equipped shop and finding his services in demand, as he is a skilled artisan. He has always been an indefatigable worker and has won his success through his own efforts. He is a member of the state live stock commission, his political allegiance is given to the Democratic party, and fraternally he is identified with Montana Lodge No. 2, A. F. & A. M., at Virginia City, and with Virginia City Lodge No. 30, A. O. U. W. On April 18, 1878, Mr. Saunders married with Miss Amanda Woodworth, who was born in Ohio, and of this union four children have been born: William Millard, a student in the business college at Bozeman; and Eunice M. Theodore A. and Charles Byron, who remain at the paternal home.'
