Wave, Thurs. Aug. 28, 1958 DANNY LEE SAGE DIED THURSDAY Danny Lee Sage, two years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Benson Sage of Grand Rapids, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, August 21. Danny was drowned in a rain swollen drainage ditch back of his parents home and was swept nearly a mile and a half away to Buck creek. The child was discovered missing from his home about 10:45 and volunteers and police officers began the search, which ended at 1:30 p.m. Police officers said the boy apparently opened a back yard fence gate and wondered in the drainage ditch as he had no fear of water. Surviving besides his parents are a brother Patrick, two sisters, Carol Kay and Janice Ann; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Hansbarger of Saranac and grandmother Mrs. Orlando Sage of Muir. Funeral services were held Saturday at the Roth funeral home at Lowell with burial in the Muir cemetery. The Hansbargers were former local residents and the Sages moved to Grand Rapids about five years ago from Ionia.
