Norwich Sun, April 29, 1918

May M. Brown, wife of William A. Sage, died at their home at 28 South Broad street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] at 11:45 o'clock Sunday night, April 28, 1918 aged nearly 47 years.  Death came after an illness of but three days with pneumonia. Everything that loving husband and the skill of physicians and nurses could do was unavailing and the useful life ebbed away.  Mrs. Sage was born in Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], May 14, 1871, the daughter of Randall and Mary E. Brown. Fourteen years ago she was united in marriage to W.A. Sage and came to this city to reside.  A faithful member of Emmanuel Episcopal church she was an indefatigable worker in behalf of its every church and charitable enterprise.  Mindful of the greatest virtue, her private, secret ministrations to the poor of this city were large and many are the saddened hearts, mourning because they have lost a friend in deed and thought, a friend willing to share all that she had to relieve their discomfort. She was devoted to her immediate family and the loss is a crushing one both to Mr. Sage and to her mother, to whom the sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended.  Private funeral services will be held from the home at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Manning Bennett officiating, and interment will be made in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, NY].
