JACOB J. PAGE - It is not possible in the brief history which is here presented of Jacob J. Page to enter into the interesting details of his career in an exhaustive manner. He has filled a large and important place in the ranks of successful citizens in Eel River township and has done his part well. His record as a farmer and as a public-spirited citizen has been such as to gain for him the compensation and approval of his fellow citizens. His career has been a long, busy and useful one and he has contributed much to the material, civic and moral advancement of the community.
Jacob J. Page, the son of Jeremiah J. Page and wife, was born March 15, 1863, two and one-half miles west of North Salem, in Putnam county, Indiana. A complete history of the Page family is given in the biography of Jeremiah J. Page, which is found elsewhere in this work.
Jacob J. Page received a good common school education and remained under the parental roof until his marriage, when his father gave him twenty acres and, with this as a beginner, he has become one of the most prosperous and substantial farmers of the county. He has been a farmer and stock raiser all of his life, making a specialty of cattle and hogs. He has also bought and sold land at different times, and by the use of good judgment has usually been able to realize on each transaction. As he was able, he added to his possessions until he now owns nine hundred and sixty-six acres of land, all of which is improved. On his different farms he has good houses, barns and outbuildings and he takes a great deal of pride in keeping everything in an attractive manner, believing that an attractive appearance enhances the value of his property.
Mr. Page was married in 1891 to Ida Thompson, the daughter of Nelson C. and Margaret (McCreary) Thompson. Nelson Thompson was born April 30, 1843, in Boyle county, Kentucky, the son of John R. and Martha Thompson. In the summer of 1843 John R. Thompson and his family came to this county and bought a farm in Eel River township. In addition to farming, John Thompson bought and sold a large amount of live stock, especially mules and horses. Nelson Thompson grew to manhood in this county and married Margaret McCreary, the daughter of Huston and Lucinda (Jordan) McCreary. Margaret McCreary was born in Clark township, Montgomery county, her parents having come from Virginia in pioneer times and entered a homestead near New Ross, Montgomery county. After his marriage Nelson Thompson came to Hendricks county and farmed in Eel River township until his death, in April, 1906. His wife died in July 1898.
Mr. and Mrs. Page are loyal members of the Christian church of North Salem. They are the parents of nine children, all of whom are still living at home: Asa, Cecil, Bessie, Birdie, Roxie, Mamie, Lena, Oscar and Stella. Mr. Page is a public-spirited and progressive man and has always been interested in the various movements and measures which were calculated to improve the welfare of his community. Quiet and unassuming in demeanor, he has always attended strictly to his own business and for this reason is numbered among the representative men of his community.
