In 1893, Mr. Page removed to Washington, District of Columbia, and has since resided at the capital. He is a member of the Author's, Century, and University clubs of New York, and of the Metropolitan, Cosmos, Chevy Chase, University, and Alibi clubs, of Washington. He received the degree of Litt.D. from Washington and Lee university and from Yale university, and that of LL.D. from Tulane university in 1899.

He has been twice married. First, in 1886 to Anne Seddon Bruce, who died in 1888; second, in 1893, to Florence Lathrop, widow of Henry Field, of Chicago, Illinois.

The charm and pathos of "Meh Lady" and "Marse Chan" have won for Thomas Nelson Page a place in the hearts of the people, north and south, which would insure him lasting remembrance even if he were not the true literary artist he has proved himself to be in technic and in spirit.
