SAVAGE, ANNA OBITUARY
Mrs. Anna Savage, aged 47 years, wife of Patrick A. Savage, of the town of Tripp, passed from this life at her home last Sunday, September 2, [1923] at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, death being due to heart failure.
At eight o'cock that morning, Mrs. Savage gave birth to a daughter. Knowing that her heart was in a weakened condition, Dr. Johnson, who was in attendance in the case, realized the danger of the situation, but the delivery was effected without any alarming development, and it was hoped that the crisis had been successfully passsed, though it later developed that such was not the case. Shortly before 10 o'clock, the patient experienced a suffocating feeling and requested that she be allowed to sit partly upright, even if but for a moment. Her wish was granted, but it was soon apparent that the heart trouble which she experienced was not to be thus allayed, for she grew faint and the prompt administration of stimulents by the physician and the heroic treatment resorted to in such cases failed to be effective, and death ensued.
Anna Doyle was a native of Illinois and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Doyle., both now deceased, late of Stockton, that state.
Besides her husband, she is survived by six children--Bernice E., Edward, Thomas, Irene, Alice and the infant daughter as yet unnamed; also five sisters and two brothers--the Misses Mary, Ellen and Margaret Doyle, of Deer Lodge, Mont; Peter, of Chicago, John and Frances Doyle and Mrs. C.L. Hotze, who sill reside at the old home town--Stockton.
The deceased came with her family from Illinois about twelve years ago, and the family located on a farm three miles northeast of Iron River, in the town of Tripp. She was a lady of refinement, and a devoted wife and mother. Her death is an irreparable loss to her family, and a shock to the entire neighborhood.
The funeral was held this morning at 10 o'clock, services being held at the Catholic Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Father Joseph Rapala. Interment followed in the Catholic cemetery.
The deceased's sisters, Mrs. Hotze and Miss Frances Doyle, and brothers, John and Peter Doyle and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, John A. and Ellen Savage, of Chicago are here for the funeral.
The grieved ones have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.

SAVAGE, JOHN P. OBITUARY
by P.J.S., son of the deceased.
In Spooner, Wis., Wednesday, August 2, 1899, of heart failure, John P. Savage
John P. Savage was born in the parish of Haggerstown, county Louth, Ireland, June 15, 1829. He moved to Droghada with his parents when nine years of age and to England four years later.
Evicted from their beautiful land and dispossessed of all their property in Ireland, as thousands of others have been, because they would not -- could not abandon their ancient faith, their minds naturally turned to the free land across the sea, where the honorable and industrious of all nations were welcome and where all of its subjects were guaranteed religious freedom. Accordingly in 1850, he immigrated to America, settling in Putnam, Conn., where for nearly 10 years he was employed as overseer of power looms in a cotton factory. In 1857 he married, in Putnam, Susan Arbour, and four years later he moved to Wisconsin. After spending a couple of years in the Badger State, he in company with his brother Joseph and a couple of other pioneers, moved to Brown County, Minnesota, which was at that time sparsely, if at all, populated. Many and varied were the hardships endured during those early days in that wild region, but somehow with true western pluck they got along. In 1882, he disposed of his homestead and after living two years in the town of Sleepy Eye, Minn., he moved to Waseca. It was while living here that he lost his true and fatihful wife on Aug. 30, 1884. He lived in Swift County a couple of years before moving with his family to Washburn. From that time until about a year ago, he spent most of his time in that city, the last two or three years residence there holding the positon of librarian. Almost a year ago he went to Spooner, where he lived with his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, on a homestead. His health had been remarkably well for a man of advanced years and whose the editor visited him but a month ago, he carried away the impression that he would live for many years yet. But somehow he seemed to realize that his life's journey would soon be ended. He ate a hearty supper on on the evening of August 1st and retired for the night in about the usual spirits. The knowledge of his death was received the next morning when Helen Rogers, aged 7, went upstairs to call "Grandpa" for breakfast. Lying in a natural state as if asleep his body was found lifeless and cold. Dr. Averill, of Spooner, attributed death to heart failure. The funeral took place from the Spooner Catholic church Saturday and the remains were laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery at Shell Lake, Fr. Lienfielder of Cumberland officiating. The deceased has six sons and two daughters in various parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Montana. All were present at the funeral as well as two sons-in-law and a daughter-in-law. Joseph Savage of Mountain Lake, Minn., the only brother of the deceased, also attended the funeral.
