Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"

I've heard as well as read, both ways, Bill. However, I think that the verbiage "He now belongs to the Ages" is the most oft quoted. With the heightened emotions running throughout the room and the Peterson House entirely, I think that Stanton's words could have been either "Ages" or "Angels"....when that pencil broke, we lost the exact words, but the meaning can be quite the same....
