After the war he located in Wellington and for over 30 years was one of the leading insurance agents of this city. He was born October 15th, 1834, at Huntington, O., and was married November 13th, 1856.
At the time of his demise he had past his 70th year of age. His death was caused by complication of diseases. He leaves a wife and two children and many relatives and friends who mourn his death.
Mr. Sage was a member of Wellington Lodge, F. & A.M., forty-nine years.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.C. Cromer, assisted by Hon. J.T. Haskell and Mr. A. Gibbs, both of whom made interesting addresses eulogizing the deceased. The song service was especially fine.
