Heritage
The Virginia Historical Society at Richmond, Virginia has a photograph of her listed as "Mrs. William N. Page with child" in its archives collections.
Emma and William Page's family home, the mansion on the hilltop in Ansted, West Virginia, still stands as evidence of the once thriving coal business. Later occupied by several generations of the Vawter family, the Page-Vawter House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. As of 2008, this community landmark was under restoration by new owners, the Campbell family. Nearby, the famous overlook known as Lover's Leap in Hawk's Nest State Park overlooks the New River Gorge National River and the main line of the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) (now part of CSX Transportation) from a height of 178 m (585 feet) from a high bluff.,

Famous quotes containing the word heritage:
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
