  	ENTERED INTO REST - 1914 Late John Saunders was Widely Known and Esteemed. The news of the death of Mr. John Saunders of Montaque on Sunday, October 4th was heard with deep regret by a large circle of relatives and friends. Mr. Saunders was in his 81st year and enjoyed the best of health until about a year ago when he was taken ill with lagrippe, which proved too much for him, his stomach and heart giving out under the strain. He was born in Beckwith in 1843 (typo 1934?) moving to Montague with his parents when about two years old where he resided until his death. He was married in March 1860 to Miss Janet King of Beckwith who with three of the family predeceased him some years ago. He was a staunch churchman being a lifelong member of the parish of Franktown.
