Emily Rebecca Page (May 5, 1834 - February 14, 1862) was an American poet and editor. She began contributing poems to the Portland, Maine Transcript in 1846. She wrote prose and poetry for the Carpet-Bag, Ladies' Repository, and the Rose-Bud. For several years, she was a contributor to the publications of Maturin Murray Ballou. Some of her poetry, including "The Old Canoe", was occasionally attributed to other authors. That and "Haunted" were printed in Poets and Poetry of Vermont (Boston, 1860). "The Old Bridge," "Mabel," "My Angels," and "Watching" were also well known. "Lily of the Valley" was issued in book-form (Boston, 1859). Page died in Massachusetts in 1862.[1]
