TSTHE
CYRUS IL. SAGE.
Johnsonburg Press.

1t is with feeling of sadness that
the Press is called upon to chronicle
the death of Cyrus II. Sage, which oc-
Cured at his home on Clarion Heights
Wednesday night about 10:45, after an
illness with typhoid fever that extend
ed over a period of the last six weeks.
His death was wholly unexpected, and
on the day of his death he was suffic-
iently recovered from the fever that
he was able to sit up around the house
with his cloths on-in fact in couple
of days more would have been able to
leave the house in which he had been
confined for such long siege. He
stated to his family that he
was feeling almost like himself again,
and it was with much pleasure that
he anticipated a return to his daily
business life. However during that
afternoon a change was noticed that
caused no small amount of alarm, and
the attending physician DR.. j. w.
Warwick, was called, but despite the
best of medical care and treatment
death resulted from sudden failure of
the heart functions.
Cyrus H. Sage was born in Empori-
um on Dec. 10th, 1861, and at the
time of his unexpected death was aged
A years and one day. He was married
about thirteen years ago to Miss Rose
Burlingame, of Sizerville near Empori-
UNI who survives together with four
children, Susan, Sidney, Frederick
and Elizabeth. Eight years ago he re-
moved to this place from Emporium
to assist his only broJher, Fred Sage
who came to this place couple of
years previous to that time and start.
ed the Johnsonburg machine shop.
The business grew and t1ourished, and
in a course of few years, nice es-
tablishment and a growing trade was
the result, in which the people of John
sonburg took pride as an all home in
dustry. 1t is needless to state here
that in the loss of Mr.. Sage the town
loses one of its best citizens, man
whose time and effort was spent to-
wards the Improvement OF the town in
many ways, a man whose word and
business integrity was never doubted.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home Saturday morning at Q
o'clock, conducted by the Rev. S. r.
MacEwen, rector OF st. Martins
Episcopal church, and remains will be
taken to Emporium the place of his
birth for burial. Services will be held
at the Presbyterian church in Empor-
um at one O'Clock, conducted by the
Rev. S. r. MacEwen assisted by the

The death of our former townsman
was a great shock to his many Empori-
um friends. The Sage family, always
respected was for SO many years close
ly identified with the best interests of
our country and his death is deeply
deplored Since leaving Cameron
county to reside at tJohnsonburg, where
he built up a large and fourishing
manufacturing plant, employing thirty
or more men, he had by hard knocks
and industry arrived at point where
the fruits of his active life had com
menced to mature.
The funeral of deceased, which was
hnl of

Zens.
