Mrs. Adelaide Savage, 80, passed away Sunday morning at 2:20 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sumned Woodward with whom she had been spending the winter. She was born in Addison May 30, 1851, the daughter of Serrel and Eliza Taft and in youth moved with her parents to the state road district where she grew to womanhood. She was twice married, her first husband Charles Hadley died many years ago. One child was born to this union, which died in infancy. Later she married Hiel Savage, who died in Nebraska. Mrs. Savage lived in Nebraska nearly 43 years and returned last summer in frail health for a visit with relatives. Several years ago she suffered a shock and has gradually been failing for some time. She was the third of a family of 12 children of which, five are now living. Mrs. Savage, known by many of the older residents, was very highly regarded and always recognized for her Christian character. She is survived by three sons, Fay Savage of Adams, Nebraska; Olin Savage of Fairbury, Nebraska and Serrel Savage of Kimball, Nebraska; three brothers, Frank Taft of Whitesville, Andrew Taft of Cameron and Myron Taft of Jasper; two sisters, Mrs. Effie Dennis of Canisteo and Mrs. Sarah Woodward of Jasper. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 from the Woodward home and at 2:00 o'clock from the M. E. Church, Rev. E. C. Lewis officiating and burial was made in Jasper.
