No soldier boy who went to battle for what he conceived to be right and duty did more valiant service for his country than did Joshua K. Page. He is a Grant County "to the manor born". His father was John Page; a veteran of the war of 1812, and a cultivated Virginia gentleman of the old school. Joshua K. Page was his youngest child. John Page was married three times, and by each of his wives had a numerous family of children. Joshua was a farmer's son and grew to manhood in his father's clearings. In 1861 when the tocsin of war was sounded he was one of the first to respond to his country's call for volunteers, and he served during almost the whole of that memorable struggle. The following is his record as a soldier, and it is one he may well be proud to leave to his children. Joshua K. Page enlisted in the United States service at Williamstown, Ky., August 14, 1862, as a private of Company B, Eleventh Kentucky Volunteer Cavalry, under Captain James A. Johnson and Colonel Alex W. Holeman to serve three years, or during the war.
