Obadiah married Catherine Rhodes in 1821 in Aylesford, Kings County, and they had 12 children. He died in 1872 in Annapolis County. Christian Messenger – Wednesday, 3 Apr 1872 – Page 110. Mr. Obadiah Saunders – There are certain events in the life of every man which form important dates in his history. In giving you a brief notice of the life of Brother Obadiah Saunders, I have not been able to ascertain the exact period from which many of these epochs date. He was born, however, 17 Feb 1796. In early life he obtained a hope in Jesus and united with the Baptist Church at Nictaux. Subsequently he removed to Aylesford and in doing so united with the church there. It was, I think, while a member of that church, that his brethren having full confidence in his christian character and mental ability and believing that the desires he expressed were of the Spirit's prompting, gave him a license to preach the gospel. For a number of years our brother "labored in the work," zealously and efficiently. About 27 years ago he engaged with the Church at Springfield, Annapolis Co. to serve them in the gospel and soon after moved his family to that place. For several years he has not been able to preach, but he has continued to be a worthy member of the Church in that locality; and so far as the influence of a consistent christian life and the wise counsel of a judicious thinking mind are concerned they have sustained a great loss. His death which took place 21 Mar, has caused a number of children, grand-children and other friends to mourn. His wife had preceded him to glory five years ago. – Communicated by Rev. W.E. Hall.
