The 1840 census in Laboe, Germany shows Claus Lage married to Catharina “Trien” Rüdinger and their two sons, Claus born 1837
(later marries Margaretha Luise Hass) and Jacob born 1839 (later marries Antje “Anna” Klindt).
This means that Jacob who was Claus and Margaretha (Hass) Lage's son, was a Jr. because his uncle was also a Jacob.
So Jacob Lage and his wife Antje Klindt, and Jacob Lage, Jr. with his wife Emma Witt are buried close to each other because they were indeed related…uncle/nephew.
Also, thanks to Gerhardt & Billie Voge's daughter, Ann, I now have John Lage's wife's name - Addie May (Furman) Lage.
I'm still looking for a connection (if any) between Claus Lage's family (at the top of this feature) and John/Alfred/Herman Lage branch (at the bottom of this feature).
Now hopefully some Lage descendants/relatives will come forward with obituaries I don't have for their familes...
With the information I have above, I now was able to find more Lage connected pix in my database, which came from Sue (Woodford) Beals.
In 2004 she graciously sent me around 60 pictures from Oregon to scan. Here are some of her pictures that connect to the Lage family.

Jake Lage Washington No. 9 country school June 30, 1896
Jake would have been 12 at this time - not sure which he is.
My guess is the larger boy in the front row on the left - near who I assume is the teacher
Page 77 of the Manning Schools history book.
Sadly this is just a sampling of names I was able to determine for this and the other country schools around Manning in the corner of four counties.
Most of the directors books are either gone and some are buried in courthouses, many of which we attempted to go through to extract the names.
Most people probably have forgotten that I'm still working on a two-volume Manning Veterans' history book project.
Some people have been upset that I haven't published it - after working on it for 10+ years.
I had hoped to have it published by now but for many reasons, I'm having a difficult time getting Manning Veterans or the families of deceased Veterans to get their military pictures and
information to me to scan and add to the database for editing later on when I start to lay out the book.
I also hear from various people that I won't be able to get every Veteran's history - as if I don't already know this,
having worked on Manning history for over 40 years...yes, I know I won't get everyone connected
to Manning but I have lots of names without a picture or 1 sentence of information...I know I can get more but it will just take me a lot more time - unless more people
start coming forward right away.
One thing most people don't stop to think is that it costs tens of thousands of dollars to publish a history book.
I've published 2 Manning books now, with the help of a lot of volunteers
on the first 2 books, BUT now it is "Me, Myself, and I."
Those previous 2 books cost me thousands of dollars of my own money -
beyond what was raised through fund-raisers, donations, and the pre-sales of those books.
One way I am able to raise money for the Veterans' project is with the sales of the 2006 Manning Quasqui history book and the 2009 Manning Schools history book.
I have a lot of extra - brand new books for sale. 100% of the money from the sales will go to the Veterans' book.
If you are interested in helping financially with the Veterans' book project by purchasing one or both of the previous Manning history books, you can find more
information on the left side of my main web page - click on "History book order forms" and you'll see images of the books and printable order forms.
I have a history book bank account at the First National Bank, where the money will be deposited.
Thanks,

Most of these pictures below came from the Walt & Ardith (David) Lage collection.
I worked with Walt and especially Ardith for many decades on their pictures and family
history but still didn't get all of the pictures identified.
Herman was the youngest brother and John is the oldest with Alfred in the middle...I have
quite a few Lage obituaries, but it would be really helpful to get Alfred, Herman, and other Lage obits to help me figure out some of the pictures.
I'm not sure exactly how Jacob Lage above is related but I assume it would be a cousin situation.
Hopefully by showing all of the Lage pictures in this feature, someone will
come forward and help make the connections.
All I know about this picture is it says "grandma Lage" on the right.
The taller man in the back definitely has the "Lage" look.

I have many more pictures from this Lage branch, but this is enough to show for now to get help with
making all of the Lage connections.
