CHARLES EDWARD SAVAGE 

FORMER COUNTY MAN DROWNED LAST WEEK 

  The body of a white man, identified as that of Charles E. Savage, aged 53, 
of 100 Crawford Street, Portsmouth, was found Saturday afternoon shortly 
before 5 o'clock floating in the water near the Norfolk slips of the Norfolk 
and Portsmouth ferries.

  Dr. C.D.J. Macdonald, city coroner, viewed the body and ordered it turned 
over to a Portsmouth undertaker to be prepared for burial.

  Information as to circumstances of the drowning was not available early 
Sunday, but it was supposed that Mr. Savage had fallen into the water several 
hours before his body was found.

In Service 25 Years

  Mr. Savage, formerly of Battery Park, had been a resident of Portsmouth for 
32 years.  He was the son of the late W.H. and Mrs. Lena Knight Savage, and
