OBITUARY:
TWO PIONEERS DEAD; THE PASSING OF JUDGE PEEBLES AND LYMAN SAVAGE
Both Were Numbered Among Marion County’s Thriftiest Class of Farmers
Before the honored pioneer "Mr. Peebles" had been at rest in death for four hours, the grim reaper had summoned still another pioneer citizen of this county, in the person of Lyman Austin Savage, who succumbed at 6:35 o’clock last evening to a twelve-day siege of pneumonia and jaundice, dying peacefully at his home on Asylum avenue, between 18th and 19th streets.
Mr. Savage’s demise was quite sudden, in a comparative sense, his ordinary health for years having been excellent and almost entirely free from organic trouble. He was conscious throughout his illness and up to his last hour. On Thursday he sent for his lawyers and made formal disposal of his affairs; and while anticipating death, was buoyant with the hope that he would live longer than he did.
Mr. Savage was a pioneer of Oregon, and of Marion county of fifty-three years’ standing having crossed the plains as a boy in 1845 with his father’s family. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Towner Savage, whose original homeplace in the Webfoot state was on "Salem Prairie" just north of this city, where decedent and his brothers, John, Lewis, M. R., and O. G. Savage, and his sister Mrs. Eurepia Edwards (of Walla Walla, Washington) were all raised to manhood and womanhood.
Lyman A. Savage was a practical and successful agriculturist, having secured a comfortable competency by constant application and punctilious fair-dealing with his fellow-men. For long years his name has been respected, his character admired and his friendship valued. He was a devoted husband and father and his death is a grievous loss to his affectionate family, which consists of his widow (nee Miss Teresa Keene, to whom he was married just twenty years ago, his first wife, a Miss Matilda Stewart having died several years prior) one son, Elmer N., a young farmer of Gervais, and a daughter, Miss Grace Savage.
Decedent was 62 years, 1 month and 11 days old, having been born in Kalamazoo county, Michigan on December 31, 1835.
Funeral services will be conducted at the family home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. C. B. Bacon, of the First Baptist church, officiating, assisted by Rev. G. W. Grannis, of the First M. E. church. Interment will take place in the family lot in Rural cemetery.
