Pottstown Ledger. 2/6/1890.
Davis Savage, a leading citizen of the Northern part of Chester county, died 
yesterday morning, about 7 o'clock, at his home in East Coventry township, 
about three miles from Pottstown. He had been prostrated several weeks by 
cancerous affection on the back, brought on by rubbing or injury while cradling 
grain on a warm day in harvest, some twenty years ago. From an abrasion of the 
skin then produced an incurable and exhausting sore followed, which gave 
trouble ever since, and finally terminated the life of an honored and useful 
citizen. Mr. Savage was a farmer, but served a term as Justice of the Peace, 
and took a lively interest in business and political affairs, being a man of 
much intelligence and general information. His age was 61 years, 1 month and 7 
days; he was the son of the late Zenas Savage, of Chester County; a brother of 
Washington Savage, died many years ago, (his widow, Mrs. Charlotte Savage, 
lives in Pottstown,) and a brother of Mrs. Elias Swartley, of this place. The 
wife of the deceased,[sic Aquilla] who is a daughter of Squire Benjamin Harley, 
survives him, and there are three living children - Rebecca, wife of Christian 
Miller, of Seattle, State of Washington; Carrie, wife of Elwood A. Leopold, and 
Franklin Savage, living at home, The news of the death of Davis Savage will be 
learned with sorrow by many relatives and a large circle of friends and 
acquaintances.
