FUNERAL TODAY FOR MRS. PAGE
Death Occurs in Miami After Lengthy Illness
Mrs. Edna Allmond Page, widow of William Eugene Page, Sr., formerly president of the R. W. Page Corporation, died Friday at 6 a.m. in Jackson Memorial hospital, Miami, Fla., after an illness of three years.
Mrs. Page suffered from chronic leukemia, which caused her death. Many transfusions and other medical efforts were expended to save her life.
Funeral party was to have arrived in Columbus Saturday at 5:10 a.m. and the body taken to Striffler's Mortuary. Funeral will be in Striffler's chapel Saturday at 4 p.m. with Dr. Joseph S. Cook, pastor of St. Luke Methodist church, officiated. Interment will be in the Page family plot in Linwood cemetery.
The following will serve as pallbearers: Chester Newman, D. A. Turner, J. J. Pease, Rex Lavender, Bentley Chappell and Frank Foley. Honorary pallbearers will be stewards of St. Luke Methodist church.
Mrs. Page's husband met his death Aug. 26, 1937, in an automobile accident near Camilla, Ga. For the past several years she had lived at 920 Blandford avenue.
Several months ago Mrs. Page went to Miami to be near her younger son, Edwin Page, who is now serving in the United States Navy. With her at the end were Edwin; her elder son William Eugene Page, Jr., and her sister, Miss Louise Allmond.
Mrs. Page was a daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. E. H. Allmond, a prominent planter family of Muscogee County. Her mother was the former Miss Mary Burt, member of a well known Harris County family.
Mrs. Page was, however, practically a lifelong resident of Columbus, having been sent here to school and settling here following her marriage to Mr. Page.
She lived quietly, but was well known for her private and public charities and in former years was an active worker in the King's Daughters. Throughout her life she was a devoted Methodist, and until illness made participation in both the Sunday school and missionary circles.
Besides her two sons, and a grandson, William Eugene Page, III, Mrs. Page leaves a brother, Robert Allmond of Texas; five sisters, Miss Louise Allmond, Mrs. John Thomason and Mrs. George Wright, all of Columbus; Mrs. J. R. Spence, of Camilla, Mrs. Newton Browning, or Orlando, Fla., and several nieces and nephews. per: Lois Goodin Hottinger
