Norfolk Street Railway, departed this life at his home, corner of Omohundro and 
Thirtieth Streets, Park Place, yesterday morning after an illness of about ten 
days.

                       Death of Mr. James T. Savage

At the age of 61 years and after a continuous service of about twenty years as a 
conductor of the cars of the Street Railway Company, Mr. James T. Savage died at 
his home, corner of Omohundro and Thirtieth Streets, Park Place, yesterday 
morning. Mr. Savage was perhaps one of the best known men in this city. He had 
seen horse power give way to electricity and still continued in his position, 
being universally courteous to the travelers on the route. Last winter while in 
the discharge of his duties, he had an attack of the grip, from which he 
suffered until the time of his death. Mr. Savage leaves a widow and several 
children to mourn his loss. His funeral will take place from the residence this 
afternoon at 4 o'clock and his fellow conductors and motormen of the railroad 
company will remember him by a handsome floral tribute.
