Mr. Thomas E. Savage, aged sixty-nine, died Saturday about eight p.m. at the home of his son, Mr. F. J. Savage, at Paris, after a lingering illness of a complication of diseases. Mr. Savage was born March 11, 1849 at Murphysville, Mason county. He was a son of Dr. and Mrs. William Savage, and was one of three children. One sister survives him, Mrs. William Hinton, of Paris. Mr. Savage and family moved to Millersburg when their children were quite young. After Mr. Savage grew to manhood, he operated a drug store in Millersburg for a time with his father. Later he resided at St. Joseph, Mo., for a time, after which he held several traveling positions for Cincinnati commercial houses. In 1889 he accepted a position in the drug store of Dr. W. M. Miller, and afterward held the same position with Mr. H. H. Philips, then with Smith & Wadell, and for a short time with W. M. Wadell & Co. He was also Deputy County Clerk under Mr. Ed. D. Paton, and later his son, Mr. Pearce Paton, which position he held until his health failed him. For a long time he was notary public and has written more wills, deed, mortgages and contracts than any other man in Millersburg, except Mr. R. B. Boulden. He was a devout member of the Methodist church from boyhood, and for more than a quarter of a century a member of the official board, and for many years, until broken in health, he was its secretary. He was united in marriage when quite a young man to Misss Gertrude Ingels, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Ingels, who preceded him to the grave some years ago. Five children was the result of this happy marriage, three sons, Dr. Wm E. Savage, of Cincinnati, Mr. Robert Savage, who died when a young man, and Mr. F. J. Savage, train dispatcher for the L & N. R. R. Co., at Paris, with whom he was temporarily residing at the time of his death; two daughters, Miss Mary Savage, who resided with him, and Mrs. A. C. Clockseim of Cleveland, O. For the past two years Mr. Savage has been in failing health, and it was realized by his family and friends that the end was slowly approaching. For a long time he was an invalid, but able to get around. Last fall when his health failed so he was no longer able to get about, he and his daughter, Miss Mary Savage, went to Paris to reside with his son, Mr. F. J. Savage. His daughter, Mrs. Clockseim, of Cleveland was unable to attend the funeral on account of poor health. Prof. Clocksim was present. The funeral services were held Monday at two-thirty p.m. at Millersburg Methodist church, and were conducted by Rev. J. D. Redd, P. E. of the Maysville District, a life-long friend of the deceased, assisted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Gardner. The music was under the direction of Mrs. C. M Best, of M. M. I. The floral tributes were beautiful and attested the high esteem in which the deceased was held by his family, relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest on the family lot by the side of his wife and son, in the Millersburg Cemetery, perhaps about the same hour in the day when sixty-nine years ago he first beheld the light and glory of this beautiful world.
