My condolences to the family of Marie Young Saunders, who passed away Sunday, June 11. Her husband was Daniel Thomas Saunders. Does anyone have any information on his parents? My grandfather had a 1st cousin named Daniel Thomas Saunders, Jr. (born 1892), whose was married to a Marie, and I'm wondering if it is the same person. Drema
