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:
“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)
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
