OBITUARY -pub. 09/26/1901-(Vol.25, No.29)-The Republican Newspaper, Oakland, Maryland.
Amos Wesley Savage was born at Sang Run, Md. on August 30, 1826, and died at his home in the same neighborhood on September 6, 1901, aged 75 years and 6 days.
He was the youngest son of Robinson and Sarah Savage, who were both noble Christian characters and preceded him years ago to the better land.
His father was a leading man in his neighborhood and served a number of years as magistrate and was also a school teacher in his time and was noted for honesty, integrity and general uprightness.
In character the son closely resembled the father. He was converted in early life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was an active member and a faithful Sunday school worker for many years. He died the peaceful death of the righteous, and after the funeral services, which were conducted by his pastor, his body was laid to rest by the side of that of his recently departed wife, where they together await the dawning of that "Blessed Day."
He was the father of nine children: had 25 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. May they all live so that they meet him in that Heavenly Home.
