JASPER DOUGLAS SAGE.

JASPER DOUGLAS SAGE.
 Jasper Douglas Sage was born at Sandisfeld, Mass, November 20, 1923. His parents were Philemon and Betsy Sage. After spending his boyhood days at home he attended, a little later, the Albany Academy at Albany, N. Y., from which place he received quite liberal education, graduating in 1843. He married Miss Ellen Maria Smith of Madison, Conn.,, and commenced ca reer in the West. For several years he engaged in school and other business in Illinois, but then losing his health flor time, he came East, engaging in bus mess in New Haven, where little la ter he partially lost the use of his right arm in attempting to save from fire some property there. Later he took up the roofing business, tablishing his headquarters in New York City, | where he continued until the last three years of his life, at times meeting with much financial success, and finding the use of oils in this business some what beneficial to the disabled arm. This latter business covered a period of 42 years. Throughout his long and useful life his marked Christian prin- ciples were uppermost; and his efforts in philanthropy, both within the church and it's work, and out among the very poor of the city, were untir'
 ing. Though such sufferer in his last illness the mower pained through life of manly principle and Christian grace
