Mrs. Sophia Savage, wife of Wesley Savage, of near Sang Run, this county, was born Nov. 20, 1833, and died at her home, of pneumonia, on Feb 4, 1901, aged 67 years, 2 months and 15 days. She was a daughter of John S. Friend and was converted when about 17 years of age and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was a faithful and consistent member for fifty years.
For the past twenty years she had been an invalid, and although often a great sufferer, yet she was always cheerful and contented. She was a diligent reader of the Bible and at the time of her death was reading it through for the twelfth time.
She leaves a husband and nine children to mourn her death. The names of the children are Mary E., wife of Winfield Savage (deceased); Annie L., wife of R. M. Enlow; Lou A., wife of Geo. W. Moon, Emma J., wife of W. A. Smith; Maud, wife of H. B. Ferguson, and Bruce, Dellie Murettie and Hallie at home.
The remains were interred in the graveyard on the farm of Judge D. H.
Friend, where she awaits the archangel's call at the resurrection of the just. She will be greatly missed, not only by member of the family, but by a large circle of friends. But we'll see her again in that day.

Capt. Charles E. Hoye, well known authority on Garrett County history, was fatally injured last Tuesday, November 20, in Los Angeles, CA when he was struck by an automobile as he was attempting to cross a street in that city.
First taken to a receiving hospital and later to the General hospital in that city he died the following day, November 21. Mr. Hoye suffered a badly mangled leg and a fractured skull. Death came to him a month after he had observed his 75th birthday.
A native of Sang Run this county, he was a son of William H. Hoye and Louise Stutzman Hoye, and was born at Sang Run, October 21, 1876. His grandfather, William W. Hoye, was one of the first settlers of this county, coming to Sang Run in 1799.
After graduating from Maryland State Normal school (now Towson State Teacher's college) he taught school in this state.
He was married to Miss Hallie G. Savage of Sang Run, and to this union three children were born. He became a soldier of the U. S. Army during the Spanish American War in 1898, serving in the 3 Cavalry, and in 1899 enlisted with the U. S. Volunteers and served in the Philippine Islands during the insurrection there. He remained in the Islands with the Department of Education and was serving as provincial superintendent of schools when he retired in 1925. He also served with the 7th regiment, Philippine Guard, during World War I with the rank of captain and adjutant.
Following the death of his first wife he married Miss Luella K. Mason, of California and for the past several years has divided his time between California and Garrett County. He helped to organize the Garrett County Historical Society in 1941, served as its president for a number of years, and also as editor of The Glades star, quarterly publication and continued his research in Garrett County history and their pioneer families.
He was author of the book "The Hoyes of Maryland' and had been engaged in compiling the histories of several other pioneer families of this section.
Mr. Hoye left Garrett County last December after remaining for the dedication of the Ruth Enlow Library, a project in which he was deeply interested, and for which he contributed $1,000. Mr. Hoye also was instrumental in arousing interest in a Centennial celebration here in 1949 which culminated in a program of much historical value.
Funeral services for Mr. Hoye were conducted last Saturday, November 24, in Los Angeles, after which the body was cremated. Final rites were in charge of a Masonic lodge in Los Angeles. His ashes are being sent to Sang Run for burial.
Surviving are his widow, who resides at 4615 West 18th street, Los Angeles; two sons, William R. of Arizona; and Edward, of near San Diego, CA; and one daughter, Carlotta, of Los Angeles. While residing in this county in parts of recent years Mr. Hoye had lived at Sang Run with relatives, at the home of Mrs. Mary C. Hoye and her daughter, Miss Ruth Hoye.
For the past twenty years she had been an invalid, and although often a great sufferer, yet she was always cheerful and contented. She was a diligent reader of the Bible and at the time of her death was reading it through for the twelfth time.
