Rev. Oswin F. Waage was born in the old parsonage connected with St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa., the son of Guy Frederick Sophus Waage, who was a native of itzehoe, Denmark; hence Rev. Waage was of Danish descent. At an early age he entered the well-known classical and normal school at Quakertown, Pa., and then studied under the able leadership of Dr. A. R. Horne. In 1866 he entered the theological seminary at Gettysburg, Pa., from which institution he was graduated in 1868; he was then called to the pastorate of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where he succeeded his father as pastor.

The father had served this congregation for forty years, and his son rounded out a successful pas­torate of fifty years when he retired. Rev. Waage excelled as a preacher; he was a close student and always had a message that was worth while. As a pastor he was devoutly loved by his people, and for half a century wielded a strong influence in his community. Rev. Waage is buried in the cemetery of St. Paul's, beside the bodies of his father and son.
