Possibly they might be in the county offices in LeCenter. I had not noticed in in the Minnesota State Historical Society research center in St. Paul, but I have not been through their microfilms thoroughly. I have only really looked at census records and death certificates. I checked some of the plat maps that I have copies of. The oldest one I have is from about 1898. I did not find any Savidges listed in the area around Savidge Lake.
