Coldwater Courier, June 27, 1885
Nelson H. Saunders died at his residence in Batavia Township about 2:00 o'clock 
last Wednesday morning after a long illness, and his funeral was held at his 
late residence yesterday morning at 10:00 o'clock. Rev. Herbert J. Cook 
officiated when his remains were laid to rest in Oak Grove Cemetery.  Mr. 
Saunders was born February 16, 1805 in Denmark, Lewis County, New York. He 
resided there until 1818 when he moved to Niagara County, same state. In 1827 
he was married to Miss Harriet M. Reynolds who died about two years ago. In 
1855 they came to this city and resided here until 1865 when they moved onto 
their farm in Batavia which has since been their home.  Of seven children born 
to them, five are still alive: Homer F. SAUNDERS, and Mrs. Julia MUSSELMAN of 
Batavia; Reuben M. SAUNDERS, Mrs. Helen L. LAMPHERE and Mrs. Josephene F. 
JACKSON of this city.  He was an upright member of the Episcopal Church, was a 
kind, sympathetic and accommodating neighbor; a loving husband and father and 
an excellent citizen. What more need be said.
