SAVAGE, BEN

His first business venture was when he joined his father, the late D. Savage, in a watchmaking business established by the latter on Carden Street in 1848. In 1850 he opened up his own business on Lower Wyndham Street.

Mr. Savage was an active member of Norfolk Street Church and choir, and was a life member of Waverly Lodge, A.F. and A.M.
