    ROBERT R. SAVAGE, Judge of the Probate Court of Cherokee County, was born in
Union District, S. C., September 23, 1831, and at the common schools of his
native place acquired a fair education. He was married February 24, 1852, to
Miss Louisa J. Geer, daughter of Willis and Cynthia E. (Hall) Geer, of Cherokee
County, and from that date until 1869 was here engaged in farming. In the latter
named year he was elected Tax Collector, held that office two terms, and in 1880
was elected Probate Judge, a position he has continued to hold, having been
re-elected in 1886.

    February, 1862, Judge Savage enlisted in Company E, Forty-seventh Alabama
Regiment, and was elected first lieutenant. He resigned at the end of nine
months, returned home, and soon afterward joined General Wheeler's escort, and
remained in the service until the close of the war.

    Judge Savage is one of the substantial citizens of Cherokee County. He has
reared a family of six children. He and his wife are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.

    James P. Savage, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in South
Carolina, and in 1848 settled at the town of Goshen, Cherokee County, Ala.; from
there in 1873 he moved to Cross Plains, Calhoun County, where he died in 1874.
He reared a family of nine sons and three daughters. His father, James Savage,
was a native of Pennsylvania, and his grandfather came from Europe.
