Mortgage fears surround Miss Mabel Page in Weston case
Weston April 8 The state police say financial distress weighed on the Page household after Edward Page moved from Back Bay to Weston and Harold Page, a Harvard graduate turned railroad clerk, kept the family afloat on meager wages. A $2500 mortgage from Charles Cutter looms over Mabel Page as creditors foreclose connections to Ruth Williams and other loans. The Page matriarch Elizabeth Page died two years ago leaving most property to Mabel, yet encumbrances persisted while reverses forced land sales to cover debts.
