NATHAN SANDAGE is a native of Union County, S. C., his birth occurring March 17, 1804. He is the oldest of seven children born to Thomas and Nancy (Simonson) Sandage, both of whom were of Irish extraction and natives of South Carolina. These parents settled in Tobin Township in 1812, and were preceded by only a few other families. The country at that time was a wilderness, the larger wild animals and Indians being every day sights. Nathan worked on his father’s farm until his majority.

Mr. Sandage is a Republican, has been township trustee, and has made life a success, now owning 140 acres of land and a good home.
