Elwin L. Page

Elwin Lawrence Page (1876 – January 12, 1974)[1] was New Hampshire attorney and historian who served as a justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court from 1934 to 1946.

Born in Concord, New Hampshire, Page received his undergraduate degree from Williams College in 1900, followed by a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1902.[1] From 1931 to 1934, he was a justice on the New Hampshire Superior Court, and on September 29, 1934, Governor John G. Winant nominated Page to a seat on the state supreme court, to succeed John E. Allen, whom Winant had elevated to chief justice pending the retirement of sitting chief justice Robert E. Peaslee.[2] Both prior to and after his judgeship, Page was in private practice in Concord.

He was also a historian and author, and was a member of the New Hampshire Historical Society for over 50 years.[3] He passed away in 1974 at his son's home in Douglaston, New York.[1]
