Nancy Mary Sage, Great Quake of 1906 Survivor, Dies

SF Weekly reports that one of the few remaining Great Quake of '06 survivors died yesterday. Nancy Mary Sage, who stretched her life out to a staggering 105 years, died in Littleton, Colorado. Although just wee thing at the time of the infamous disaster, Sage went on to become chief librarian of the Meridian, Idaho public library and a rabid fangirl of weekly cribbage games. Read more about Sage at SF Weekly. The anniversary of the Great Quake will be commemorated at 5:13 a.m. at Lotta's Fountain on Market Street. Oh, also, there are an estimated 8 to 10 survivors left.
