This man is really confusing! His name seems to have actually been Henry Walter E. Savage. He was "H. W." in 1880, Walter H. in 1900, and just plain Walter in 1910. He is listed as Henry Walter Savage on his Death Certif. His birth, according to his Death Certificate, occurred 23 Feb 1873 in Corinth, Adams, Mississippi. He was the son of John Hamilton Savage and Louisa J. (Lusk) Savage.
