Chester was born on 4 July 1883. He was the son of
William Henry Savage and
Louisiana Adeline Hyde. He married
Mary Ethel Baker. Chester died on 21 September 1916 at age 33. His body was interred in Henson Family Cemetery. Henson Family Cemetery is about 2.5 miles off Hiway 35 near Sumner in Tallahatchie County..
The Bible that Dr. James F. Savage has list the name as Chester Allen with the name Arthur enclosed in parenthesis as if a nick name...seven of the nine children are entered the same way, i.e. nicknames...I choose to carry him as Chester Allen..his tombstone and some members of his direct line choose to call him Arthur Lee..there was an Arthur Lee born to Fletcher Anderson Savage in 1888.Fletcher is a brother to Chester Allen's father.I think that that is where the confusion comes in.
