Charles Wesley Saunders (b. June 29th, 1833, at Franklinville, N. Y.; d. Jan. 7th, 1891, at Belfast, N. Y.) was a physician and surgeon of Belfast. He was graduated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons (formerly Bellevue College). His parents were Harvey Saunders, a farmer of Franklinville, and Sally Hanford of New Canaan, Conn. His brother, Frank Saunders, was Lieutenant, 6th N. Y. Cavalry in the Civil War, and was killed in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign. The family came from England previous to 1800, and settled at New Canaan, Conn.
Eliza (Armstrong) Saunders (b. Aug. 22d, 1848, at Wayne, Steuben Co., N. Y.) spent her early life at Oramel, N. Y. She is the daughter of Francis Armstrong, a lumber manufacturer of Oramel, who came there from Scotland, and Elizabeth Snodgrass of Mifflin, Pa. She is now (April, '06) living at Belfast.
Saunders entered with the Class and remained with us until 'after Christmas of Freshman year.
He was married at Clarkson, N. Y., Dec. 2d, 1903, to Miss Frances M. Hixson, daughter of Frederick R. Hixson.
"after leaving old Yale," wrote Saunders at Sexennial, "I engaged in mercantile pursuits until the winter of 189495, which I spent in the Southern States and old Mexico. Upon my return North the following spring I entered the Cuba National Bank, Cuba, New York, where I have since remained, with the exception of a trip to the West in the summer of 1897. Am now Assistant Cashier of Cuba National Bank. Sorry I cannot be with you this year."
In addition to his assistant-cashiership he is now an officer in several local industrial corporations. "Have been very closely confined to the Bank," he writes, "although I have been fortunate in getting a couple of trips West during the last few years."
