Page Herman Sinclair

Page was the first of three children born to Hector H. Sinclair and Caroline Maria Page Sinclair. His father was a marble cutter and the family relocated several times as Page grew to maturity. In 1880, the family resided at Jamestown, New York. Perhaps they still lived there in 1883 when Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show performed at that place in its first year of travel. In 1885, the family resided at Appleton, Missouri where Page’s sister Mary was born. In 1895, the family relocated to El Dorado, Kansas, where his parents would reside until the end of their lives. In 1899, Page’s paternal uncle at Walton, New York died and Page relocated to that place to help with his deceased uncle’s mercantile business. In July 1900, he entered the railway mail service as a mail clerk with the Ontario and Western Railroad. Page married to Carrie Maria Tobey on 19 May 1904 at Walton. They made their home on Townsend Street at that place where they raised their only child, Helen Marjorie Sinclair. Page retired on 1 October 1939 and was later a Justice of the Peace and Acting Police Judge at Walton. Page died at Smith Hospital after an illness of five weeks. He had been a Delaware County Republican committeeman; Walton Republican town committeeman; a member of Walton Lodge 559, Free and Accepted Masons; a member of First Congregational Church, of which he was a trustee at the time of his death. He was an active member of the John More Association from 1947 until his death as second vice-president on the Board of Directors of JMA, Inc. Page was buried in a Tobey family plot at Walton Cemetery. He was my third cousin three times removed.
