| Description |
English: Joseph Wyndham Savage (1812-1884). Born in New York City 5 Aug. 1812, became in early life a prominent Whig, and served in the state legislature, where he acquired a wide reputation as a public speaker. While a member of the legislature he delivered in the assembly a strong speech entitled "The Tomb of Washington," in which he made a vigorous plea for the purchase of Mount Vernon by the Government. He was a candidate for the nomination for governor of New York before the convention of 1853. In New York City he was successively president of a bank and of an insurance company and director in various financial institutions. He removed later to Rahway, N. J., where in 1881 he was elected mayor, served three terms, and died in office at Rahway 17 Dec. 1884. |
