Milton - On Friday afternoon, Deacon Saunders received atelegram from Milwaukee announcing that his son Truman W.Saunders had suffereda stroke of apoplexy. Mr. and Mrs.Saunders took the night train for the city,but arrived toolate, their son dieing before their arrival. The sad news sentathrill of horrer through our community, where the deceased waswell known and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances.The deceased dpent a number of years as a student here, andgraduated here. After his graduation at Williams College hebecame a member of our College Faculty, and remained here inthat capacity until he took up his residence in Milwaukee.During his connection with the college he made an extensiveacquaintance with those from abroad who were students, and amonghis fellow citizens. He was highly esteemed for his truemanlinessthrough culture and curteous manners. His untimelydeath, occuring as it did when he was entirely alone, withoutthe kind offices of wife, mother, father or friend makes it oneof the saddest occurances ever brought to our notice. His heartbroken wife and grief stricken relatives have the heartysympathy of our community in this their hour of sorrow.President Whitford and Prof. W. F. Place, a classmate of thedeceased, attended the funeral. It is probable that the remainswill be brought here for interment. The following clippings arefrom the Milwaukee Wisconsin, and Republican and News: "Truman W. Saunders, an accound of whose sad case appeared inlast night's Wisconsin, died at 2 o'clock this morning. It is now supposed the bursting of a blood vessel in his brainresulted from violent retching as undigested food which had beenthrown from his stomach was found by the bedside. Thephysicians say that the ??ffusion of blood was so violent thatMr. Saunders could not have been saved had medical attentionbeen summonedat the moment the vessel broke. Mr. Saunders, who was born in Rensselaer County, N. Y., was oneof the purest and most honorable and faithful members of theMilwaukee bar. His college career was brilliant and his recordas a professor inMarkham Academy first class. He was agraduate of Alfred University, N. Y., Milton College andWilliams College, and in School and at his profession was aconspicuous and untiring student. He had practiced law threeyears in Milwaukee, and for some time had been the trustedattourney of the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company. His wife with her father and little child will arrive from theeast tomorrow; his parents arrived from Rock County today. Mr. Saunders was prominent member of the Allen Council, RoyalArcanum, from which order his widow will receive $3,000." gravestone photo, July 2001.
