    CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 681 THE HONORABLE HENRY W. SAGE. The Honorable Henry W. Sage was born in Middletown, Conn., January 31, 1814. He is a descendant of David Sage, a native of Wales, who settled in Middletown as early as 1652. His father, Mr. Charles Sage, married Miss Sally Williams, a sister of the Hon. J. B. Williams, of Ithaca. Henry W. Sage was the oldest child. His early boyhood was passed in Bristol, Conn., until his father moved westward in 1827, with the early tide of emigration, and settled in Ithaca. In early years he learned the lesson which so many eminent Americans have had to acquire that of self-sup port and self-dependence. This discipline of sacrifice and of arduous toil was one of his earliest acquisitions. It had been the ardent wish of the boy to enter Yale Col to' lege, but the removal of the family this State interrupted this plan. Even in Ithaca his desire for a profession did not forsake him, and he began the study of medicine, which, however, he was forced by ill-health to abandon, and in the year 1832 he entered the employ of his uncles, Williams & Brothers, men of great energy and probity, who were merchants and large shipping agents, owning lines of trans portation which traversed the lakes > of Central New York, connecting, by means of the Erie canal and the Hudson river, with the trade of the metropolis. Mr. Sage's energy and business sagacity were soon manifested, and his enterprise en larged the sphere of his activity.
