He was elected to the office of justice of the peace for the 17th ward in 1900, but resigned the same year to enter the Law Department of the Columbian University in Washington, D.C. (later George Washington University Law School). Page graduated in 1903; and was admitted to the bar in the same year.[2] He then served as Milwaukee District Court judge for twenty-four years. Page died in a hospital at age 85 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 25, 1959.[3]
