Page died at the home of his son-in-law, John Edwards, near Humboldt, Thursday, Feb 8, and that the remains will arrive here to-morrow afternoon on the 4:33 Santa Fe, and that the interment will be in the old cmemtery. Mr. Page was among the old settlers in this locality, and acquired a comfortable competence at his vocation as a farmer and a large circle of friends by living an upright, honest life. Old age and an attack of paralysis made it necessary that he spend the last years of his life with his children. His wife, in feeble health, and a number of children survive him. 15 Feb 1900 The funeral of C.N.P. Page, who died at his late home near Humboldt, last Thursday, took place in this city Saturday afternoon. The old soldiers and a large crowd of people met the remains at the Santa Fe depot, and after taking the last look at the lifeless form of their old friend and comrade they bore it away to the Walnut cemetery, north of town, and laid it to rest. Mr. Page was one of the old settlers here. Some years ago he sold his old home place, one mile north of town, where he settled when he came to this county, and bought and built him another home just across the road from his old place. This was a much smaller place than the old one, but he soon built a good large house and barn, and set out all kinds of fruits and had it well improved. About two years ago he had a paralytic stroke, and it was thought at the time that he could not survive it, but he did and recovered suffieciently to enable him to take a trip to La Porte, Tex., where he and his wife spent several months visiting their daughter, after which they returned to their little place north of this city, where they lived until about three months ago, when he sold the home and moved with his son-in-law and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards, to a farm which he purchased near Humboldt, where he resided up to the time of his death. He never entirely recovered from his first paralytic stroke, and has had poor health generally since that time. He was confined to his bed two weeks prior to his death. He was unable to talk at the time of his death. He was 74 years of age. He served three years in the Union army during the civil war. "Daddy" Page, as everybody called him, had a host of friends in this county, and was well liked by all. He leaves a wife, two daughters, two sons, and a large circle of friends to mourn his departure from this world. The bereved family has the sympathy of the entire community.
