J. E. Page, farmer, P. O. Mazon, was born June 21, _____, in Cook County, 
Ill.; is a son of T. N. and Selinda (Noyes) Page, natives of New Hampshire. 
They came to Illinois between 1833 and 1837; they emigrated West with a wagon; 
the mother died March 6, 1880, having blessed her husband with eight children, 
seven of whom are living, viz., J. E., Elizabeth, Ellen, Hannah L., Hiram A., 
Fred W. (deceased), Mattie and George R. The father is living in Cook County, 
where he first settled; is a Methodist, to which organization his consort 
belonged; he was Postmaster at Elk Grove for many years. Our subject attended

legislators of Vermont. Mr. P.'s grandfather Page was Governor of New 
Hampshire two terms, and his uncle, John Page, was Treasurer of said State for

until 1882, when he located on his present farm of 160 acres in Braceville 
Township. His union has blessed him with seven children, six of whom are 
living, viz., Helen M. (graduated at the grammar schools of Chicago, and has
