Wilfred Page, formerly of this city, and son of the former owner of the Cotati Rancho, died suddenly of heart failure at his Berkeley home on Wednesday. A widow and 6 children survive the deceased. Wilfred Page took over the active management of the big Cotati Rancho and conducted it for some years, finally relinquishing the management to George T. Trowbridge of this city, that he might enter a commercial career. He had no premonition of his impending fate. For a year or so, he resided on McDonald Ave. in this city. He was a director of the Sonoma County Agricultural Association for many years.
Mr. Page was one of the first breeders to bring shorthorn cattle to this country for breeding purposes, and the first man to pay over $1,000 each for these animals. He was also a fancier of fast horses, being the owner of Electric, son of Electioneer, full brother of Acton 2:07 who sold for $125,000. Mr. Page owned some of the most famous brood mares in CA and maintained a race track on the Cotati Rancho.
From the Marin Journal, July 25, 1907
