jefferson Savage aged 70 the 18th day
of November, passed away about o'clock
Yesterday morning at his home on Middle
street after an illness which dated back
to the days of the Civil war. His death
had been expected for several days and
with one exception his entire family was
at his bedside before the end came. The
deceased was born in Embden but after
wards moved to East Madison. Twenty
two years ago the family moved to Show
hogan and since coming here Mr.. Savage
had been engaged in the real estate busl-
ness and was a notary public, having an

For several months, in fact the greater
part of last summer, his health was too
seriously impaired to allow him to VEN
ture from his quiet home. AS might have
been inferred, the deceased was a soldier
and saw 1. years of service. He was a
member of Company F, Sd Maine, being
commissioned officer with the title of
lieutenant and participated in the frs,
! fierce conflict at Bull Run. He was also
in the battles Of the Peninsula. The dis
ease from which he had suffered for many
years was the result of army experiences.
Mr.. Savage is survived by widow, for
merly Miss Flora Morrison of East Mad
ison, and to this couple were born the fol-
lowing children: Nellie. who Is the wife
