Wage, Susannah (1801 - 24 APR 1891)

Mrs. Susannah Wage died at the residence of her son, Thomas, Wage, at Maple Works, Clark County, last Friday, April 24th, 1891, after several months of illness.

Mr. and Mrs. Wage were among the first of the Clark County Settlers, having come here about thirty-five years ago when the town of Grant in which they located was an unbroken forest. During the summer of 1868, Mr. Wage was accidentally killed while logging, and after a widowhood of twenty-three years, Mrs. Wage has quietly passed from this life of joys and sorrows, after having nearly reached the four-score years and ten line. She was a quiet inoffensive lady, a grand neighbor who delighted in doing good to others, and whose character commanded the admiration of all her acquaintances. She leaves two sons, Thomas Wage, of the town of Grant, Fernando Wage, of the town of Levis, and two daughters living.

Funeral was from the residence Saturday, conducted by Rev. T. G. Owen.
