THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 11-18-1932, P. 8
SIMMONS BURNETTE SAVAGE

   Simmons Burnette Savage, a well-known citizen of Franklin and a native of 
Edgecombe County, North Carolina, died at his birthplace Tuesday, November 15, 
1932, at the age of 61 years. Mr. Savage had been visiting his brother, A.R. 
Savage, at the old home place for about a month when he was taken ill Monday 
morning, dying the following night.

   In July 1907, he married the late Miss Lucy Rawls, daughter of the late Mr. 
and Mrs. William E. Rawls of Franklin and then came to Franklin to make his 
home where he served as express agent for 15 years. Afterwards he was employed 
by Lytton Manufacturing Co., and there he worked until 16 months before his 
death. While in Franklin, he acquired a host of friends who join with the 
family in their sorrow, and many will remember him for his kindliness and 
willingness to serve his community whenever he could.

   The funeral was held at his home in High Street Thursday afternoon at 3 
o’clock with the Rev. Roscoe Jones of the Methodist Church and the Rev. J. 
Sutherland-Watt of the Episcopal Church officiating. Miss Lessie Webb 
accompanied Mrs. J.S. Morgan of Suffolk, Mrs. Herbert Cobb and Misses Fanny 
Webb and Lizzie Mae Cutchin, who sang his favorite hymns, “Jesus Lover of My 
Soul,” “In the Sweet Bye and Bye” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The 
active pallbearers were: J.L. Rountree, Rufus Futrell, W.F. Jones, T.A. 
Vaughan, Percy Vaughan, J.S. Morgan of Suffolk, Gus Grimes of Tarboro, N.C.,

Hayes, J.B. Gay, George H. Parker, E.T. Fitzgerald, George I. Earnest, Dr. R. 
H. Cobb and M. H. Moore.

   Surviving his are his three children, Miss Martha Savage of Boykins, Miss 
Mary Elizabeth Savage of William and Mary College and S.B. Savage, Jr. of 
Williamsburg, and a number of brothers and sisters who are: Mrs. Alfred White 
of Hobgood, N.C., Mrs. Joe Cherry of Speed, N.C., Mrs. John Wheeless of Spring 
Hope, N.C., Mrs. Robert Dale of Norfolk and Mrs. Howard Dixon of Rocky Mount, 
N.C., A.R. Savage and Austin Savage of Speed, N.C.  Besides these of his 
immediate family, he is survived by a number of nieces and nephews in both
