Sidney GAGE, of Westminster, was born 25 November 1853 in Westminster 
[Windham County, Vermont], son of William P. and Laura M. (RICHMOND) GAGE. 
His education was confined to the common schools of Westminster, and after 
his somewhat limited schooling, he engaged in the employ of his father in the 
manufacture of baskets, and later succeeded his father, continuing in the 
same line of business to the present time. He has been called upon to assume 
the responsibility of some of the town offices in his native place, and in 
1892 represented Westminster in the General Assembly. Mr. GAGE is a member 
of the board of trustees of the Bellows Falls Savings Institution, having 
served in that capacity since 1889. An earnest, honest, upright citizen, he 
has won the esteem and good will of his fellow citizens. On 21 February 1877 
in Bellows Falls [Windham County, Vermont], Mr. [Sidney] GAGE was married to 
Ellen L., daughter of Albert E. and Lucy M. (DAVIS) LEONARD, of Grafton 
[Windham County, Vermont].
