<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.
