JACKSON PAGE
A valuable farm comprising one hundred and seven and a half acres of rich and productive land is the property of Jackson Page, and it lies on section 6, Duplain township, where he is now successfully engaged in farming. More than a half century has come and gone since he located in this county, having arrived here in the fall of 1853. He was born in Porter township, Delaware County, Ohio, May 8, 1832. He spent the first twenty years of his life upon the old homestead farm there, during which period he acquired a good common-school education. When a young man he came west to Michigan, settling in Gratiot County, where he entered one hundred and sixty acres of land. Later he returned to Ohio and brought his mother and her family to this state and they settled in Gratiot County. Mr. Page began clearing his own land and also met the experiences and vicissitudes of pioneer life. The great forests were uncut and abounded in many kinds of wild game, including deer. He also hunted and killed bears and greatly enjoyed the pleasures of the chase. A part of the time Mr. Page, while clearing his land, made his home with his mother but later he built a little cabin on his place and for a time kept "bachelor's hall."
After inauguration of the Civil war he enlisted at Eureka, in August 1861, as a member of the Third Michigan Cavalry and with his regiment went south to Benton Barracks, St. Louis. Subsequently he participated in the siege of Corinth and in numerous other engagements in that part of the country. He was wounded at Booneville, being shot in the shoulder, and thus disabled he was taken to the hospital, where he remained about a month.
Later he rejoined his regiment and was in a number of important battles, including the engagements at Iuka and Bay Springs, Mississippi, and Jackson, Tennessee, driving the Confederates out of that place, which was regarded as a southern stronghold. On the expiration of his first term he veteranized and was then granted a thirty days' furlough, which he spent at home. He then rejoined his regiment at St. Louis and went down the Mississippi River, participating in the siege of New Madrid and Island No. 10. Later he was at Cairo and went up the Ohio River. He served until the close of the war and was at San Antonio Texas, when mustered out. He had been at New Orleans and Mobile, also up the Red river and in various localities in that part of the country, being always on active duty, which sometimes led him into the thickest of the fight and again took him on long marches and hard campaigns. He was honorably discharged at Jackson, Michigan, in March 1866.
Mr. Page at once returned home to his farm, and on the 23d of September of the same year was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Dague, the widow of Fred Dague, who died in Ohio. She was a daughter of Hon. Joseph Keen, a prominent lawyer who served in the state legislature and who had been a major in the Ohio militia. He was a prominent and influential man and became a valued resident of Michigan. Following his marriage Mr. Page located on the farm where he now resides, on section 6, Duplain township, Clinton County, and he cleared the land and built a house. He had purchased the farm while in the army, it having been the property of his brother George (buried in Jackson, TN) who died in the service. In 1888 Mr. Page erected his present attractive residence and he also put up a good barn, set out an orchard and made the place one of the productive farms of the county. Here he engages in the cultivation of the cereals best adapted to soil and climate and also in the raising of stock, having good hogs, sheep, cattle and horses upon his place.
Mr. and Mrs Page became the parents of four children but have lost two and Mrs Page also lost one child by her former marriage. Those yet living are: George, who is married and is now engaged in the operation of the home farm; and Fannie, the wife of George Andrews, a farmer of this township. Their daughter Sarah, who for several years was a successful teacher, died in early womanhood. Katie was also a teacher and died when a young lady. By her former marriage Mrs Pate had a daughter, Edith, who married and settled in Saginaw County, Michigan, where her death occurred.
Politically Mr. Page is a stalwart republican, having given unfaltering support to the party since casting his first presidential ballot for John C. Fremont in 1856, He has served as district treasurer and director of schools for a few years but does not care for political office. He was formerly for twenty-five years a member of the Eureka lodge, I. O. O. F., in which he has filled all of the offices and served as a past grand. He was also a member of the Grand Army post there but both lodges have disbanded. His attention is chiefly given to his agricultural pursuits and his farm of one hundred and seven and a half acres is under a high state of cultivation. In matters of citizenship he is always public-spirited and progressive, manifesting the same loyalty to his country that he displayed when on southern battlefields he wore the blue uniform of the nation.
