V ^ $> ?. <$> ? - *> | 4> yfv VS> ^ ^ ?J> .' > The State, 18th. Judge Gage was born February 4. 1 1856, near Fairforest, Union county, S. C. His parents were Robert J. and Martha (Williams) Gape. His father was a planter who was noted for his kindness of heart, cleanness of intellect and sound-judgment. He was a member of the general assembly ? ~ from Union county and in 1883 he served on the board of visitors of thf South Carolina Military Academy. J His mother, though an invalid for i nearly all hei life, wa? a woman of ' fine intellectual endowments, remark-! ' i able social charms and a deep piety.! She was a great help to her children | in their studies, even after thev reach-' ed the higher grades, and was kind and helpful to all to whom she could render service. The first paternal ancestor in this country was John Gage, who came from Coleran, Ireland. Kis fatheri was Robert Gage who lived and died j in the old country. John Gage locat-! ed in Philadelphia in 1800, and two. years later removed to Union, S. C. j " -<-v_ Jf-ai r t>?t 1- t ! lie w^s tne laujfi oi auucu o. \jrag,c. j On the maternal side the first ances- j tor in America was Richard Williams,) who came ' from Glamorganshire,! Wales, and was living in Taunton, | Mass., in 1637. Edward Williams,' father of Martha Williams Gage, was i fifth in line of descent from him. For a iong period this branch of I the Williams family resided in j Maine, and several of its members | were prominent in public affairs. In childhood and youth George llir/arJ in fVio / Al'ttttw Hi<2 VlPnlth 4**VU itc VilV j was delicate, but his tastes were for j outdoor work and sport, and being j much in the open air gave him in-. creased bodily vigor. The devasta-j tion caused by the Confederate war j placed the family in limited circum-! stances and made it necessary for him, at a comparatively early age, to take up the various kinds of work: which a boy on the farm is able to perform. This experience taught him "the value of doing things for one's j i - ^ ?. ? m. I sell," ana provea 01 great Denexu, m i later years. From 1864 to 1871 he j attended the inferior schools which; at that time the country supplied. In j the year last named he entered Wof-j ford college from which institution J he was graduated in the summer of | 1875 with "the degree of A. B. In t\ie j following October he entered the em- j ploy of the Carolina Savings bank orj Charleston, where he remained for i ; three years. Afterward he studied j Jaw 'at Vanderbilt university from \ which institution he vms graduated in j iftfiA with the dperea of IjL.D. Im-1 *vv'v' * ' I mediately after his graduation he op-; ened a law office in Chester. For a j time he was associated with his uncle I by marriage, the late Giles J. Patter-1 son, and the late f. 0. Gaston, and j afterward for several -ems with J.j K. Henry. His natural ability, "thcr-1 ough preparation and excellent judgment soon \\on him a lar^e and lucrative practice. In 1893 he was elect- i circuit judge to succeed Jud?o I. D. Withersi>oon of York, ;;:id wu3 re-; elected by the legislature in lUOo. j He served as circuit judge until January 15, 1914, when he was clectodj associate justice of the supreme court j which office he has ably hell for the! past seven ye$rs. The polit:cal hon-j ors that have come to him are thr.se j of member of the Chester city coun-j cil, 1884; presidential elector, 1888;; member of the State Constitutional; convention, 1895, and member of the state legislature, 1897.
