McLean Page Collection


This collection contains the correspondence and records of McLean Page (also known as Sam Page and Sam Love). Page’s personal records, including mortgage agreements, crop lien papers, receipts of payment for fertilizer, and records of cotton sales and other agricultural products, indicate that Page worked as a farmer. McLean Page appears also to have worked as a skidder with Butters Lumber Company in Boardman, NC. Correspondence between Page and his family, including wife Mary Jane Gore Page, dates from 1918-1924. Receipts and letters indicate that Page lived in and around Whiteville, NC. Two original account books and several photographs are also included in the collection. The collection was donated by Angie P. Harrington, granddaughter of McLean Page and daughter of Louise Page Jefferson.
