Notes for Henry Sager
From Newton book:
He purchased his farm just north of Big Darby Creek, in Section 3686,locating his cabin east of the old trail. He was a blacksmith by trade,and when not clearing or tilling his land he labored at his trade.
He was a genial, good-natured citizen. In his day customers usuallyfurnished the material, from which he fashioned the various implementsthey wanted. Iron was scarce and very valuable, so much that it was"pilfered". Whenever missing the complaint was made to him, he (Sager)would reply very seriously that he strongly suspected the Rats had eatenIt! He was the first person to be elected County Commissioner with RobertNelson and David Comer, who held their first meeting May 20, 1820.
