Eliza Adsit was born June 23, 1833, at Potsdam, New York. With her parents, she came first to Medina County, Ohio, and then to Wisconsin. She married Amos D. Page in Wisconsin on December 4, 1851. They had three children, all of whom were born at Menasha, Winnebago County, Wisconsin: Dustin, Frederick A., and May.
Amos Page, a Winnebago County pioneer, was born around 1818 in Maine and came to Menasha in 1849. After his marriage to Eliza, the couple lived on their farm at Menasha. Evidently, the farm was prosperous, as the value of their property ($3,000) exceeded those of most of the neighboring farms, according to the 1860 census.
By 1870, the Page family had taken in Eliza's younger sister, Martha Adsit, who had no occupation, according to the federal census. The youngsters, Dustin, Fred, and Mary, filled out the household. The Page's Menasha farm lay within the basin near the Fox River near the northwest shore of Lake Winnebago. The Fox River flows into Lake Butte de Morts, east of Oshkosh, and into Lake Winnebago. The Fox River next drains out of Lake Winnebago past Menasha and Neenah. During the 1870s, the federal government made several improvements (including dams) along the Fox River near Menasha. Apparently, the river "improvements" caused some "flowage damages" to the Page farm, for which the U.S. Congress appropriated $760, payable to Amos D. Page in 1875.
The family situation remained the same when the 1880 census was written, as Amos and Eliza lived with their children, Fred and Eliza. Martha was still with the family, but Dustin Page had moved away. Like his sister, May, Dustin ended up in Chicago.
Amos died at his farm, on July 14, 1897. Eliza, who was in poor health and confined to the home, survived him and is listed in the 1900 census as the widowed head-of-household. Son Fred and daughter May remained with her, as did her sister, Martha Adsit. Eliza (Adsit) Page passed away January 4, 1904, at her farm home in Menasha. She was seventy. She was buried next to her husband, Amos, at Oak Hill (not Oakwood as mentioned in the newspaper article) Cemetery at Neenah.
