Ezekiel moved his family to New York from Garland, Maine about 1839. In 1851, his business is described "Mr. Pages's business sells over 75,000 dollars per year, shipping goods all over the world.... he left for Ohio to visit his factory." In 1880, Sarah Page was living in Michigan where her son-in-law, F.P. Wells, ran her dead husband's factory, manufacturing Page's oars, sweeps and sculls. ^[4]

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. ^[5] Died Jul 1873 Biscayne, Florida. ^{[6] [1]}
