Atlanta Constitution, January 2, 1921: "MRS. IRA Y. SAGE DIES AT HOME IN ATLANTA. Mrs. Ira Y. Sage, widely known and beloved Georgia woman, passed into eternal life with the closing of the old year, her death marking the close of a long and useful life, most of which was passed in this community. Mrs. Sage had been ill more than a year. She was residing at her summer home of Briarcliff Road when the last summons came. Mrs. Sage was the widow of Col. I.Y. Sage, distinguished citizen of Atlanta and well known in the railroad world of the south. She is survived by two sons, I.Y. Sage and Herbert Sage, and by two brothers: R.G. Alexander of Birmingham, AL, and Judson Alexander of Gaffney, SC. Her grandchildren are I.Y. Sage, Jr.; Margaret Alexander Sage, who bore her grandmother's name, and Mary Northern Sage. Mrs. Sage was Miss Margaret Alexander of Gaffney, SC, her family on both sides representing the best families of that state, and she inheriting the qualities which expressed themselves through patriotic work and her interest in the educational and progressive measures associated with the new south. She held positions of high trust in women's organizations of the nation, and had the intellect, higher education and culture which equipped her for the several offices of leadership which she had held. She was at one time president of the Georgia Society of Colonial Dames. She was successively regent of the Atlanta Chapter of DAR, president of the GA division DAR, and subsequently vice president general of the National Society of DAR. She was a life member of the Atlanta 19th Century class, and of the Atlanta Art Association and the American Red Cross and other organizations related to the promoting of culture or patriotism. Mrs. Sage had a charming gift of expressions, both as a speaker and a writer. She had many social graces, and in her personality and attributes she had dominant that gentleness and dignity which, above all else, testify to the highest type of the Southern gentlewoman." She was buried in Oakland Cemetery.
