Gen. Comfort Sage Grave

Mortimer Cemetery, Middletown, CT

Enter through the gate at end of the alley alongside the Central Fire Station. The gate is locked, but the key can be obtained at the Central Fire Station office. The brick crypt containing Sage's remains is halfway back in the cemetery, near Liberty Street.

Arnold had known Sage before the war due to their business dealings. While he was enroute home from Albany to New Haven in the Spring of 1778, still recuperating from his Saratoga wound, he stayed for a time with the Sages. It was while with them that he renewed his attempted courtship of Betsy DeBlois of Boston by letter.
