"Orange M. Gage, one of the earliest settlers of this county, was born Nov. 18, 1831 in Cambridge, Penn. In 1852 he was married in Crawford county, Penn. to Elvira Smith. They moved in 1858 to Nemaha county and settled in Adams Township. Mr. Gage was one of the most enterprising men among the early settlers and laid out on his farm a town which was called Pacific City. This place, however, was destined to be out of line of the travel and lapsed into a farm again. Seven children were born of the marriage with Elvira Smith. The mother died in 1866. In 1868 Mr. Gage married Susan McElroy, of Pennsylvania. There were seven children of this marriage. The second wife died in 1885. Mr. Gage in 1889 married Alice Manville, also of Pennsylvania, to whom was born two children. A manly struggle was made by Mr. Gage and his family. They passed through all of the trials of pioneer life. In 1890 Mr. Gage removed to Ottawa, Kansas, where he now lives enjoying peacefully his old age."
