LIFE OF RUSSELL SAGE
Began Life as a Poor Boy and Became
a Millionaire.

New York, July 24,-Rusell Sage
was born in the hamlet of Shenan-
doah, in the township of Verona
Oneida county, New York, August
A, 1916. His parents were members
Of a party Of farmers from Come
cticut, who were making their way
by OK teams through Mohawk val.
ley on the way to Michigan. Be
fore his wife could recover strength
to resume the journey, Elisha Sage
discovered tha they were already
in fruitful land, and the family
concluded to settle there. Two years
later he removed to a farm near
Durhamville. 1t was on this farm,
at work in summer and attending
the country school in winter, that
Russell Sage spent the early years
of his life.
When be was IS years old he was
employed by his brother in a groc-
cry store. Partly because of the
necessity Of economy and more pro-
badly because of an inherent apti-
tude for saving. he accumulated
what was then a considerable sum,
When al he entered partnership
with another brother in a retail
grocery. II was not long before he
bought his brothers. interst in the
business and became It's sole pro
prietor. When he sold out a short
time afterwards he had money
enough to establish a wholesale
grocery business in 1850 with a
partner on River street, Troy. This
partner was John w. Bates. In a
short time the firm became com.
mission merchants Of produce, which
they shipped TO New York. using
sailing vessels Of their own on the
the Hudson river. BY their enter
prise Sage & Bates soon controlled
the markets of Troy and AL.
bany for Canadian aud Vermont
houses.
In 1914 he again bought his part
ner's interest and carried on large
wholesale grocery trade on his in
dividual account. One feature of
bis enterprise consisted of exten-
sive operations in beef, pork, -four
and grain, and to some extent in
the packing Of meats in the west.
Mr.. Sage soon became one of the
best known Of the merchants of
Troy and a leader in local politics
His first Office was that of alderman

slain while protesting against the rela-
tions of her husband with a young

Hinshaw be returned to the state pris-
on at Michigan City to continue serv-
ing his sentence of Imprisonment for
