Services for Mrs. Meta Chestnutt Sager, 84, one of Grady county's first two teachers, will be conducted at 2:30 p. m. Sunday in the first Christian church by Rev. Kenneth Garrison, pastor.
Mrs. Sager, who had been actively connected with education in Grady county for more than 50 years, died in a Chickasha hospital Thursday night. She had been hospitalized since September 25, 1947 when she fractured a hip in a fall at her home in Chickasha.
Resident of Chickasha for more than 25 years, Mrs. Sager had been until recently assistant librarian at the Oklahoma College for Women, having assumed that position in 1932. The flag at OCW is being flown at half mast.
Born on a southern plantation in Lenoir County, S. C., September 8, 1863, Mrs. Sager was educated in private and district schools, Bethel academy, Greenville institute, George Peabody College for Teachers and the University of Nashville.
She taught several terms in North Carolina before coming to the Indian territory on September 8, 1889, to take up her work with seven pupils in a little house at Silver City, not far from what is now Tuttle. A year later she moved to Minco when the early settlement at Silver City was abandoned for the new town.
Survivors include five nieces and nine nephews, who live in NC, CA, WA, VA, WV and Canada.
