  Notes	Founder of the Nunda News, 1859. Sanders Newspaper Chain Started in 1928; 3rd and 4th Generations Continue Tradition Chauncey K. Sanders and Harriet E. Tousey (1841-1912) were married in Dansville March 7, 1861. In 1863 They built the house which is now the Holy Angels rectory, Nunda, and lived there the rest of their lives. Three of their four children were born there; Fanny (Mrs. Frank Thomas - 1866-1944); Chauncey K., Jr. (1878-1956), and Walter B., present publisher of The Nunda News, who was born April 11, 1878; Harry, the eldest, who would have been 18 years old in October of 1880, and 16 year old Kitty Baker drowned July 3rd of that year as the result of a boating accident at Silver Lake. An editorial in The News of July 16, 1880, reveals the depths of a fathers grief in the loss of his eldest son and in one of the most poignant in the 100 volumes of The News.
