"William G. Sayles was about nine years old when his parents moved to Lenox, where he was reared and educated. He lived at home until twenty-six years old, and then bought a tract of land near the old homestead, residing there for a number of years, going then to the town of Sullivan, where he remained until 1876, finally settling in Oneida, where he bought property, improved it, and is still living here. Mr. Sayles has been highly successful in his life, but never more so than in his selection of a wife, who is a lady of culture, refinement, and much intelligence. She has been the inspiration of her husband, and in the fifty-eight years of their lives together their relations have been most happy and harmonious. They have given their children good educations, and have lived to see them blissfully enjoying their own domestic happiness. Strict and consistent members of the Baptist church, Mr. and Mrs. Sayles have been bright examples for over forty years of devoted followers of Christ. In political matters Mr. Sayles casts his vote with the Democratic party. ..."
