| Obituary | Sep 17, 1928 | OBITUARY: GEORGE W. SAUNDERSON - Hundreds of residents of Seattle, pupils of George W. Saunderson during the twenty-six years he taught English in public schools here, today were mourning his death by his own hand at his home, 1146 23rd Ave. N. Forced to retire from teaching by ill health last May, in a fit of despondency, Mr. Saunderson yesterday shot himself in the head with a revolver. He was 72 years old. His body was found by his son-in-law, Marion D. Redfield, who with his wife had come on a visit from their home in Tacoma. Arriving in Seattle in 1902 from Ripon College, Wis., Mr. Saunderson first taught at Broadway High School and then at Lincoln High School, which he left this year when his condition grew worse. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Harriet C. Saunderson, and four daughters, Mrs. C. H. Craig of Seattle, Mrs. A. A. Bugge of Sequim, Mrs. W. J. George of St. Paul and Mrs. M. D. Redfield of Tacoma. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon, Sept. 20, 1928, in the Plymouth Congregational Church, in which he was a deacon.
