HENRY F. LAGE is overseer and manager of the farm owned by Hon. M. Moody, which
is located south from the town in Hood River valley. He was born in Davenport,
Iowa, on February 24, 1875, the son of Hans and Lena (Hoek) Lage, who have a
biography in this work. Henry F., was one year old when his parents came here
and so his life has practically been spent here, and his education gained in the
schools of the valley. After school days were over he gave his entire attention
to the work of the farm, where, also, he had wrought during his youth. For the
six years, last past, he has been in his present position and is considered one
of the substantial and upright men of this county. The farm produces hay,
principally, and under the skillful care of our subject is made one of the best
about.      

At Hood River, on January 1, 1902, Mr. Lage married Miss Violet George Frances
Rose Etta Grace Lamon, who was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, on
February 11, 1882, the daughter of Henry and Matilda J. (Thompson) Lamon,
natives respectively of Woodstock, Ontario, and county Tyrone, Ireland, and now
dwelling on a farm near the birthplace of Mrs. Lage. Mr. Lage's brothers and
sisters are mentioned in another portion of this work. His wife has one brother,
William H. and three sisters, Mrs. Sarah A. Bradley, Mrs. Mary E. Magill, and
Mrs. Matilda L. Prescotte. Two children have been born to our subject and his
wife, Florence Beatrice, aged eighteen months; and an infant girl unnamed, born
May 25, 1905. Mr. Lage is a member of the United Artisans and his wife belongs
to that order and the Ladies Degree of Honor of the A.O.U.W., while they both
are members of the Congregational church.      

Mrs. Lage's paternal grandfather, Douglas Lamon, was born in Glasgow, Scotland
and married Rebecca Watson, a native of Dublin, Ireland. He was a soldier all
his life and won many medals. He was a member of the Fortyninth Highlanders in
the battle of Waterloo. He was drowned in Woodstock, Ontario, in 1837. Mrs.
Lage's maternal grandfather was a native born Highlander and followed school
teaching and linen weaving. He married Sarah J. Curtis, a native of Tyrone,
Ireland, and still living. She was born just two years previous to the birth of
Queen Victoria, to a day, and is now ninety-three. Mr. Lage's grandmother is now
ninety-three and is living in Schleswig, Germany. Mrs. Lage's father is of
Scotch ancestry and was a pioneer where he now lives near Sault Ste. Marie, and
has been there for forty years. His children who are dead are John J., died May
18, 1899, aged thirty-seven; Margaret R., died February 7, 1888, aged eighteen;
Martha J., died in 1885, aged eleven; George F., died when seven. Another named
George F. was born in 1884 and died one year and a half later. All passed away
in Sault Ste. Marie.
