HON. S. S. SAVAGE,

THE eldest son, [of Pleasant Savage] is a lawyer and prominent citizen of
Ashland. After the death of his father, which occurred at Louisa in 1862, where
the family then lived, the widow, with her children, moved to Catlettsburg,
where Samuel studied law, and practiced for several years. He filled the office
of town police judge with acceptability to all classes of people. He afterwards
moved to Ashland, and was soon after elected county judge, and filled the office
with firmness and ability. He is regarded as one of Boyd County's most talented
men. He is a Democrat in politics, and a leader of his party. He is married, and
has a wife and several children. He has the most imposing presence of, perhaps,
any man in his county.

   Frank, his brother, was first a banker, but has for years been engaged in
mercantile pursuits in Cincinnati. Alfred, the youngest, is a contractor on
public works. The daughter is engaged in literary pursuits in Ashland. The
mother died many years ago.

   Frances married W. T. Nichols, who was prominent in business circles, first
at Louisa, then at Catlettsburg, and finally at Ashland. They had one daughter,
who married a gentleman living in Brooklyn, New York; and as they had no other
children, they moved to that city to enjoy her society. Mr. Nichols died there
several years ago; but Mrs. Nichols, though bowing beneath the weight of years,
was able to visit her Sandy friends in 1886, and make them happy by her presence.

   Another daughter married Talton Everett, of Guayandotte. They reared a large
family of children, who fill high positions in life.

   Mrs. Wallace, of Louisa, is also a daughter. Her husband, Thomas Wallace,
came from Ohio, and became one of the foremost business men on Sandy. He was
assassinated by a rival in business many years ago, yet, notwithstanding his
sudden taking off, left his large business in good shape, and his family well
off. A son of his, Hon. Frank Wallace, of Louisa, is the State senator of his
district. G. W. Castle, his son-in-law, has filled several positions of trust,
among them county attorney. Another son-in-law, Mr. McClure, is county
superintendent of schools. The youngest son of Thomas Wallace has been police
judge of his town. Another daughter of Fred. Moore is the gifted Mrs. Sullivan,
postmistress of Louisa. Her husband, Rev. C. M. Sullivan, a distinguished
preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died soon after the Civil
War, leaving her three sons to cheer her pathway in life.
