HAL SAVAGE BURIED IN FOREST LAWN CEMETERY LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Last week's Leader contained a brief announcement of the death of Hal Savage in a hospital in Los Angeles, California, on Friday, July 26, and the statement that this information was sent to us by Mrs. Linda (J. J.) Carroll of Los Angeles, and that she said she would send more information after the funeral. This she did in a letter dated August 1, 1940. Mr. Savage's funeral was held Monday, July 29, in the Wee Kirk of the Heather which is located at the Forest Lawn cemetery, Los Angeles. A Christian Science service was held. The flowers were beautiful. There were many large floral pieces. The casket was covered with a blanket of white sweet peas and red rose buds. Interment was made in Forest Lawn cemetery which is situated on a low mountain (perhaps very high hill is better) several miles from the center of Los Angeles. Harold Sargent Savage was born at Lyons, Clinton county, Iowa, December 6, 1868, and died in the Dr. Pahl Hospital in Los Angeles, California, July 26, 1940, at the age of 71 years, 7 months and 20 days. When he was about eleven years old his parents left Waterloo, Iowa, where they were then living and came to Nebraska, the father having previously taken the land on which part of the city of Sargent is now located. While the new home was being made ready here, the family first located In Loup City, Nebraska, where they resided until some time in 1880 when they moved from Loup City to the new home which was located about 200 feet east of the present Sargent city park. Their house was one of the first frame houses in this part of the Middle Loup Valley. It was a story and a half house. The summer of 1883 Hal (Savage's mother, Mrs. Anna Savage died and is buried in the Sargent cemetery. That same summer his father, Ezra Perin Savage founded the town of Sargent. The next year Mr. Savage moved his family to Lincoln, Nebraska, where they resided a year or two and then moved to South Omaha, so that Hal Savage completed his education in those two cities. About the year 1888 Hal Savage came back to Sargent to take charge of the Savage farm. On October 1st, 1889, he was united in marriage to Miss Georgia Austin, a daughter of pioneer settlers hare , Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Austin, now deceased. They owned and operated the first hotel in Sargent, The Windsor, built the summer of 1883. Mr. and Mrs. Hal Savage resided on the Savage farm about eleven years. Then when the railroad came to Sargent the fall of 1899, Hal Savage and his father had erected the Star Livery barn that stood where the Standard Oil Service Station is now located. It burned to the ground the fall of 1923. About the time he was having the Star Livery barn built, Hal Savage also had a new residence built. This is the story and a half house a block north of the Texaco or Red Star Service station. There Mr. and Mrs. Hal Savage made their home until after he sold the livery barn and business, and then the family moved to Valentine, Nebraska. That was about thirty five years ago. In the course of time they left Valentine and went to Washington. They lived at Wenatchee, Washington, a number of years. There he was engaged in a very successful life insurance business for a number of years. There be suffered a nervous breakdown from which he never fully recovered, and he and Mrs. Savage moved to California where they have since resided. During this year his health became such that he was taken to a hospital several times. Finally on June 25th he entered the Dr. Pahl hospital where he died a month later. Mr. and Mrs. Hal Savage were the parents of six children, four boys and two girls. One boy, Hal Sargent Savage died here on Christmas day in 1898 and is buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Sargent. The living children are Mrs. Swiss S. Thomson, Mrs. Criss S. Leslie, Kay A. Savage, Clair R. Savage and Vern R. Savage. Besides his wife and two daughters and three sons already named, he is survived by twelve grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Jessie Janes and Mrs. Lillie (Ed) Tucker, both of Tacoma, Washington, and by his youngest brother Charles G. Savage also of Tacoma. His brother Ned Savage died in Washington state about thirty years ago and his brother Howard Perin Savage the summer of 1938. While living here Hal Savage was a member of the Sargent school board for several years, but in those days he was always too busy to take part in politics and never held any political office here that the writer recalls. He was known to practically all the people of Sargent's trade territory, especially during the time he was engaged in the operation of the Star Livery barn here. He was a likable man and had many friends
