Holland Patent - George W. Bagg died Sunday night at his residence in Holland Patent from apoplexy, after an illness of a week. He never regained consciousness from the time he was stricken, but gradually failed. He had always been a man of remarkably vigorous constitution, possessing indomitable energy, and was very active up to the time of his fatal attack.
His parents were Abner end Eunice Bagg, the latter's maiden name being Hall. They were natives of Lanesboro, Mass., where they were married and where the first five of their children were born. They had ten children, as follows: Rhoda, the mother of Charles M. White of Holland Patent; Joseph H., who became a physician and afterwards a lawyer and a judge, residing many years in Michigan; Silas A . ; Melauchthorr; Asahel
S., who was for quite a number of years the publisher and afterwards the editor of the Detroit Free Press; Clarissa, John S., Colonel Albert G., father of the Bagg
brothers of Holland Patent, Charles and George W. Bagg, all of whom are now dead.
The deceased was born July 5, 1818, about mile south of Holland Patent, and always resided in the town of Trenton with the exception of the years 1843-4, when he was in the employ of the Detroit Free Press, under his brother, Asahel S. Bagg.
In 1844 he was married to Miss Sophia Rice of the town of Trenton, who survives him, they having lived together 50 years. No children were born to them, but they reared and adopted child, the present wife of Supervisor H. A. Pride of Holland Patent.
Mr. and Mrs. Bagg began housekeeping on a farm about two miles south of Holland Patent where they remained 36 years and 15 years ago they moved into the village of Holland Patent, occupying the same house until his death.
Mr. Bagg never united with any church, but was a believer in the Unitarian faith and was a man of remarkable character, a singularly kind and devoted husband, a most excellent neighbor and a highly esteemed citizen. He was also a life long democrat, denouncing political chicanery and favoring honesty in all things.
He was a great reader, and kept closely informed on the events of the day.
Being of a very social nature he made friends of everybody, and his loss will long be felt by the
community.
The funeral will occur from his late residence at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Utica Weekly Herald, Tuesday, October 3, 1894
