DEATH CALLS ELIZUR SAGE

DEATH CAME TO WELL KNOWN FARMER THIS TUESDAY MORNING AT HOSPITAL Elizur W. Sage, for many years a prominent farmer of this county, but who had been making his home on his farm near Rochester, Ind., for the past two years, died at the county hospital at seven-thirty o’clock this Wednesday morning after an illness of six months. Mr. Sage was seventy-one years of age at the time of his death and is survived by his wife and three children. Death was the result of ulcers of the liver for which Mr. Sage was operated upon last Monday. His decline since that time was rapid. He entered the hospital June thirteenth. —— Mr. Sage was born' at Channahan, 111., in the year 1849 where he continued to reside for many years.

They continued to make this county their home until about four years ago When Mr. Sage purchased a farm near Redwood, Minn. k and moved to _ that state. After residing in Minnesota for two. years, Mr. Sage and family again came back to Indiana to make their home, locating near Rochester, which is their present home. The deceased was a nephew of Russel Sage, the noted New York capitalist, and, upon the death of the latter, Mr. Sage was named as one of the heirs, receiving a sum of money approximating $50,000. Later, upon the death of Mrs. Sage, Mr. Sage was again named as ah heir, receiving a sum which almost equalled the first bequest. The deceased was a member of the Methodist church, having become a member of that denomination when a young man. He was also a member of the Moose lodge of this city and the G. A. R., having served his country during the Civil war. Throughout his life he followed-farming as a vocation. Mr. Sage was the father of four children by his first marriage and the father of three by his second. The latter three are Mrs. David Zeigler, of this county; Russell Sage, of Rochester; and Kermit, at home. ■ ' .. The remains will be taken to the J. W.

PARR ODD FELLOWS TO PUT UP MODERN BUILDING

The Parr I. O. O. F. and a stock company, yet to be organized, will erect a brick building, which will be modern in every respect, to replace the one destroyed by fire at that place last week. The upper floor will be occupied by the Odd Fellows and the lower floor will be used for a business room. The lodge lost all of its paraphernalia in the fire. The building was insured for $1,700, but the outstanding obligations of the order amount to about $1,500. W. L. Wood, of this city, is also talking of erecting a fine business room at Parr in the very near future. William Myers, whose business rooms were also destroyed by the fire, is considering rebuilding. It is probable that all of the new buildings will be of brick, which will give Parr a citified appearance.
