DR. NEWTON SAGESER was born May 9, 1844, the sixth son of Jefferson and
Nancy (Wallace) Sageser.  Jefferson Sageser was born in Jessamine County
September 17, 1812, farmed all his life in this county, and died March 6,
1876, a member of the Methodist Church South.  Nancy Sageser was born in
Madison County, Ky., January 21, 1814, and died July 4, 1881.  The Doctor's
paternal grandfather, Fredrick Sageser, was born in Pennsylvania, came to
this county and settled in quite an early day.  He was a distiller, a
miller, a farmer, and died in Jessamine County.  His maternal grandfather,
James Wallace, was born in Virginia, settled in Madison County, Ky., in an
early day, and always followed farming.  Dr. Sageser was reared on a farm
in his native county of Jessamine; in 1867 he commenced to read medicine,
attended two full courses of lectures at the Kentucky School of Medicine
at Louisville, Ky., and graduated in February, 1869.  He practiced seven
years in Jessamine, Garrard, Mercer and Fayette Counties, but on account
of his ill health he abandoned the practice and went to farming and stock
raising.  The Doctor is a well read physician and did a good practice.  He
was married, June 15, 1869, to Martha Mays, daughter of William and
Elizabeth (Foster) Mays.  William Mays was born in Virginia January 1,
1795, was a farmer all his life, and died July 22, 1874.  Mrs. Mays was
born in this county in July, 1814, and is still living.  Three children
have blessed the union of Dr. and Mrs. Sageser, two living, viz: Flora C.
and Sam.  Dr. Sageser and wife are members of the Methodist Church South;
he owns eighty-two and one half acres of land in Lee District, three miles
