Eddie E. Gage died at his home near
East Lyndon, Friday evening of acute
heart disease. He was born in Burke in
March, 1868, and was the son of Richard
and Roancy (Hunter) Gage. He mar.
ried Miss Clara L., daughter Of Samuel
W. Russell, and one son, Roy R.. was
born to them. He was a prosperous
farmer, active and ambitious, and has
several times in the last few months
overestimated his strength. He has for
many years been in partnership with his
father-in-law, and when last August
their large barns were struck by light.
ming he was at distance from the
house, and knowing that the lightning
had struck the buildings he feared the
whole family were killed and his extreme
exertions in running up long hill and in
helping to save the livestock from the
burning barns were far too great, and he
has been failing ever since, although he
did not give up work entirely until four
or five days before he died. In his home
life Mr.. Gage was unusually happy and
his integrity and good Judgment made
him useful and respected in thecommunity
and in town business. He was a member
of the Congregational church in this
village and superintendent of the Sunday
school. His pastor, Rev. Mr.. Clarke,
oficiated at the funeral services, which
occurred at the home Tuesday afternoon
Great sympathy is felt for the wife and
son in their sudden and sore bereaw
ment, and also for his aged father-in-law
Mr. Russell. Mr.. Gage also leaves
father and step-mother, sister, and two
brothers, all living in Manchester, N H.,
and Haverhill, Mass, who were all
present at his funeral.
