drawing of a todo list with checkboxes and a pencil. checkmarks are in the boxes

William Page/Paige is not buried in Wyoming Cemetery, Melrose, where his father, mother and his brother Augustus are buried. (Source: plot record, from R---- S---- in May 2010.)

Nor with his brother Stover D.F. Page in Glenwood Cemetery, Everett. (Source: R---- S----, May 2010, her correspondence with cemetery.)

Nor in Oak Grove Cemetery, Bucksport ME. (Correspondence from Oak Grove Cemetery Association, April 2010.)

Nor with his wife in St. Joseph's Cemetery, W. Roxbury. Half of the plot was empty wnen I was there before William's daughter Cecelia died. Cecelia was later buried in the other half of this plot.

I did not find a death record for William J. Page/Paige in Maine or Massachusetts for the years 1924 to 1997, nor in Massachusetts for 1998 to 2004. If his death was recorded it may have been under a different name.

He was not found in the death records of Bucksport, ME. (Email to me from town clerk, April or May 2010.)

There is no death record in Rockland, Knox County, Maine, from 1941 to 1960 for either William Page or "Oscar Cowan". (Email from city clerk's office, June 2012).

"Oscar Cowan" is not found in:
Maine, Marriages, 1771-1907, indexes at familysearch.org
Maine, Births and Christenings, 1739-1900, indexes at familysearch.org
Social Security Applications, indexed at ancestry.com
