  Tabanus: 1892 Oct-Nov-Dec Lewis Savage born in Mile End Old Town, London (Civil Reg. Birth Index)

1892: Savage Louis, father Barnet, 160 Cannon street, born 10 92 (Tower Hamlets Berner Street School Admission and Discharge Register for Boys, 2 July 1900)

1911 census 179 Oxford street Mile End Old Town Stepney London E: Barnet Savage, 45, Boot Finisher, b. in Russia; Sarah Savage. Wife, 38, b. in Russian Poland; <Louis Savage, 18, Pupil Teacher London County Council, b. in London, Whitechapel>; Gertrude 16; Morris 10; Zurech Kopchinsky, 27, Boarder.

<The "Morning Post" says: - Chess players are very anxious as to the safety of Mr. L. Savage, a well-known member of the Metropolitan Chess Club, who has been reported missing in the Alps. Greetings were received from him at the Stratford-on-Avon Congress, dated from Switzerland last week."> - Exeter and Plymouth Gazette, 27 August 1925, p. 4.

<General regret is expressed in chess circles over the fate of Mr. L. Savage, who is supposed to have lost his life in an Alpine misadventure. He was a prominent member of both the Metropolitan and London University Chess Clubs, and was in the front rank of amateur players, always holding a high place in whatever tournament or team match he might be taking part.> - ILN, 29 August 1925.

<Savage Louis of 2 Barter-street High Holborn Middlesex died 1 September 1925 at Schnielziwald near Zueilutschinen Switzerland Administration London 27 October to Barnett Savage boot finisher. Effects £387 8 s. 11d.> - National Probate Claendar 1925.

<Mr A. J. Mackenzie notes in "Birmingham Post" re the late Mr Savage, killed in the Alps recently: - "The fate of poor Savage, the well-known London amateur, has been settled by the discovery of his body, a few days ago, under a fall of rock close to where he was last seen near Grindelwald. We had a good deal of his company during the Easter tourney at Bromley, and found that he had a cultivated taste for music. The continual humming of the Meistersingers overture had become a weakness of his, and on one occasion a mutual friend, who evidently knew this trait, in the endeavour to persuade Savage to perform some small obligation for him facetiously threatened that if he did not comply he would whistle the overture to the Meistersingers!"> - Falkirk Herald 30 September 1925 p. 3.
