SILAS L. SAVAGE, M. D., Livermore, California, was born at North Windsor,
Kennebec County, Maine, August 29,1842, and was but about fourteen years of age
when he removed with his parents to Lee Center, Lee County, Illinois, where he
attended school at the Lee Center Academy for about three years, when his
parents again moved (in the fall of 1859), settling in Auburn, Sangamon County,
Illinois, where he commenced the study of dentistry; and soon after getting into
practice he took up the study of medicine, and graduated at the Homeopathic
Medical College of Missouri, in St. Louis, in 1874, and entered into partnership
with the late Dr. W. C. F. Hempstead for the practice of medicine in
Edwardsville, Illinois. On account of the failing health of Dr. Hempstead, he
removed with him (together with their families) by rail to California. Stopped a
short time in Marysville, and after going through the memorable "flood" of
January, 1875, he dissolved partnership with Dr. Hempsetead, and located at
Wheatland, California, where he did a large practice for about three years. His
health failing, on account of the unhealthfulness of the climate, together with
overwork, he removed to Santa Rosa, California, and remained three years, and in
January, 1881, came to Livermore in hopes of recuperation by change of climate,
which he partially realized. Since his arrival here he has practiced dentistry
only, in which he has a good patronage.

  He was married March 18, 1867, to Miss Delia C. Hempstead, of Virden,
Illinois, and has three children living, namely: Frank L., Emma A. and May L. He
is a member of Mosaic Lodge, No. 218, F. & A. M., of Livermore, and Sutter
Lodge, No. 100, I. O. O. F., of Wheatland.
