Alonzo GAGE married to Clarissa Hill January 2, 1842 in Bennington County, Vermont, USA.


Obituary - Alonzo Gage was born in Morrisville, Madison County, N. Y., April 19, 1820, and was 91 years and 21 days old at the time of his death. He lived an eventful life, going to California in 1850 and remaining there for three and a half years. He also joined an expedition to Pike's Peak in 1859, but the party turned back upon meeting so many discouraged miners returning from that country. He served in two regiments during the Civil War; in the 14th and 8th Vermont regiments. He came to Nebraska in the fall of 1872 and settled in Gage Valley precinct in Howard county, locating on the first claim that was taken in that precinct. He was married to Clarissa Hill January 2, 1842, and to this union were born three children, William, the eldest child, being the only one living. Funeral services were held Friday at the M. E. church and interment was made in the Palmer cemetery. The Central City Nonpareil, May 11, 1911, page 8, transcribed by Linda Berney



Another article of interest: Grandpa Gage and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. William Gage arrived home last Friday from an extended visit in Vermont. Vermont was their old home and they had not visited there for 28 years. Grandpa says he found a good many old friends living there.
