  Dr. Henry Perry Saunders, the son of Clark and Sarah Rogers Saunders, was born on the homestead near Potter Hill, R. I., on Sabbath-day, Nov. 24, 1821.   He died at his home in Alfred, on Sabbath-day, Feb. 14, 1903.
  He was the youngest of ten children and the last to depart this life.   May 20, 1847, he was married to Miss Mary A. Crandall, and their beautiful love story has been continued for over fifty-five years.   To them have been born four children, all of whom were present to pay the tribute of love to his memory; Irving, Sarah Evaline (Mrs. W. S. Bonham), Henry Wilson and Luen Cuyler.   Of the twelve grandchildren, eleven are living, and there is one great-grandchild.
  In the services at the home Feb. 17, the pastor was assisted by Pres. Davis and Doctor Gamble, both former pastors.   The Pastor's text was from Rev. 21: 16.   He spoke of Dr. Saunders as a well-balanced man, combining strength and sweetness, conscientiousness and affection; and outlined the three-fold love story of his life, love for God, home and humanity.   Pres. Davis spoke very appreciatively of his services in behalf of the University.   Dr. Gamble paid a splendid tribute to the friend and brother whom he had known so well.     L. C. R.
