LEWIS A. SAGE

Lewis A. Sage was born in New York city, June 7, 1848, and came to California 
with his mother when about four years of age, arriving here in the spring of 
1852, his father having preceded them. He was educated in the public schools of 
San Francisco and at Santa Clara College, where he graduated in 1867.  He then 
went to Virginia City, Nevada, and engaged in the assaying business. In 1868, 
after a residence there of seven months, he was obliged to return to California 
on  account of his health, and located in San Francisco, where he engaged in the 
street contracting business for about two years.  He then went in to the 
manufacture of artificial stone under the Ransome patent, and was thus engaged 
for two years.  He then came to his present place, where he has since resided. 
He was married in 1876 to Cloelia Lewis, a native of Charleston, South Carolina, 
and has three children, all sons.
