He had been in apparent good health and had just fixed a flat tire on his car when he told his wife he didn't feel well. His physician was summoned and after an examination, Mr. Saunders was told to go to the hospital. He succumbed while sitting in the car waiting for a wheelchair in which to ride into the hospital. Mr. Saunders was born June 16, 1880, eldest son of James H. and Amanda Woodworth Saunders, pioneers of Madison Valley. His father arrived in Montana in 1864. Mr. Saunders attended Montana State College in Bozeman in 1900 and 1901 and was a member of the second Bobcat football team. His picture with other team mates from the Madison Valley, Clarence Jeffers and Jim Thorpe, is in the MSU field house. Another remaining player is Bill Flaherty of Whitehall. Mr. Saunders married Virginia Manley Southern on March 6, 1916 in Trinity Episcopal Church in Jeffers. They recently observed their golden wedding day, but had postponed the celebration until June after school lets out and the family would gather for a reunion. During World War I, Mr. Saunders took his family to West Virginia, where he worked hauling coal from the mines for defense factories. They remained there about 10 years, and except for that period, he lived all his life on the original Saunders ranch near Ennis. For a time as a young man, he had a meat delivery wagon and butcher business, delivering meat to the ranches of the valley. He was a lifelong member of Trinity Episcopal church, where he was baptized and confirmed by Bishop Brewer in the 1890s. He is survived by his widow; three daughters, Mrs. Frank (Mary Ellen) Searl of Great falls; Mrs. John (Betty) Leipold of Billings, and Mrs Erwin (Louise) Werner of Kalispell; one son, Harrison, of Ennis; seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. A brother, Charles and a sister, Mrs. Eunice Holbert, preceded him in death. There are seven nephews, Howard Holbert of Twin Bridges, Jim Holbert, Gilmer and Nelson Saunders in California, Ted Saunders of Colorado, Joe Saunders of Missoula and Byron Saunders of Ennis, and two nieces, Mildred Holbert Haskell of Ojai, Calif., and Virginia Saunders Vandenhook of Bozeman, and a number of cousins. Funeral services were Saturday in Trinity church with Rev. Ernest Neckermann officiating. Pallbearers were old-time friends and neighbors, Fay Jeffers, Lawrence Jeffers, Noah Evans, Bennie Sheffield, Chick Armitage and Randall Storey. Burial, under the direction of Raper Funeral Homes, Inc., was in the Valley cemetery. A requiem mass was conducted by Rev. Neckermann at 12:30 Sunday, attended by the immediate family and dear friends.
