A pioneer of Bloomfield township; was born February 14, 1813, in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, and became a wanderer from home at the age of nine, since which time he has traveled extensively. He made his first stop at Columbus, Ohio, where he remained twelve years, there being but one house there when he arrived. He then went to Michigan, and two years later to Indiana, where he was married in 1836, to Miss Sophia Lattimer, who died thirteen months after, leaving one child, Matilda. In 1837 he came west, and after crossing the Mississippi, a "York sixpence" was the extent of his wealth. He stopped in Van Buren county one year, then with party of seven, including Father Clifford, a Christian preacher, went to Council Bluffs, and worked for the government, in building and running a mill for the use of the Indians; then returned to Van Buren county, where his parents had located; sold out their claim, and came with them to Davis county, and staked out his claim, where he now lines, in the fall of 1840. He surveyed it by pacing off a square mile, and only missed his present lines a few rods. the same year he engaged in making rails on other claims, which he had staked out for friends in Ohio, and was arrested by the United States marshal for trespassing on Indian lands, and fined $500, and ordered under guard till the fine was paid. He describes his confinement as being rather pleasant, the United States officers being genial hearty fellows, and were talented drinkers. They offered to let him go for his rifle, but he refused that, and many opportunities to escape till they finally ran away from him, and he returned to his cabin. In 1844 he married Miss Emily Waterman, daughter of William Waterman, now of Washington territory. They have eight children, Columbus D., William M., Lyman S., Millard F., Cleveland E., Laura E., Flora B., and Lincoln. Mr. Saunders has amassed quite a fortune, the home farm consisting of 430 acres, well improved, with good buildings and orchard; and other lands, making in all about 1,200 acres.
