Occupation<\/h2>\n

Biography<\/h2>\n

The Page family moved from Garland, Maine, by way of New York City to the Erie area of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel invented and patented an oar making machine. He set up a company NY Boat & Oar – came west and built an oar making factory (I\u2019ve seen references that it was 4 stories-the proximity of thousands of acres of ash trees seems to be important to the location-rail and shipping from Erie was crucial-much of the oar production wound up in Europe. much of the oar production supplied many navies in Europe at the time. Ezekiel Page Oars are considered collector\u2019s items \u2013I\u2019ve seen pics of one purchased a few years ago on eBay.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel’s daughter, Sarah Page, married Franklin Parker Wells in Canada (don\u2019t know why they didn\u2019t marry in Michigan). Ezekiel expanded and had oars being made in the Lansing area.<\/p>\n

After Ezekiel’s death in 1873, his son-in-law, Franklin Parker Wells, took over running the oar business. The patent helped open up other factories in Ohio and Chattanooga, TN, then later in DeValls Bluff, Arkansas (on the White River).<\/p>\n

Death<\/h2>\n

In 1873, Ezekiel died in a swamp in Biscaine Bay, Florida. Search parties took 3 days after he was separated from his boat to find his body. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

“Enoch Page writes to his sister-in-law Sarah (Bartlett) Page stating he has received information concerning the death of Ezekiel Page. It seems he was looking at land near Biscayne, Florida in a borrowed boat. Mooring the boat, he went ashore to view the land, got lost, and then wandered his way out of the woods, leaving the boat behind. On 28 June 1873, Ezekiel with another man, went searching for the boat. This other man returned without the boat or Ezekiel, explaining that they had become separated. Search parties were sent out to no avail and on 3 July 1873 his dead body was found. It is thought he died not from starvation, but from paralysis or apoplexy (Page letter, 29 Jul 1873).” (from Rootsweb)<\/p>\n
