Mary's parents had emigrated to America about 1829 from England and were living in New York when she was born.
Her parents joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in march 1840 and were among the forty persons baptized by Apostle Parley P. Pratt. Her family gathered in Nauvoo with the Saints in 1844 where they suffered many persecutions. They crossed the Mississippi River in 1846 where they were forced to live in tents for several weeks. They suffered hunger, cold weather, sickness, and distress. They experienced the miracle of the quails which fed the camp.
During the next six years, their family endured the hardships of Winter Quarters, Council Bluffs, and Savannah, Missouri before they were prepared to cross the Plains. Since there were no boys old enough to help their father, Mary was taught to drive a team of oxen hitched to a wagon, how to make camp, and build fires. Mary observed her fifteenth birthday a month before they entered the Salt Lake Valley, September 10, 1852, with the James J. Jepson Wagon Company. The Leaver family settled in Salt Lake City where her father built a log home and supported the family as a tailor.
Mary married Jonathan on August 12, 1855. In 1858, Mary and Jonathan moved to Payson where he operated the Payson Cooperative Institution (store). He also owned and operated a steam mill in Payson Canyon.
Her husband was mayor of Payson for twenty years, was Justice of the Peace, was County Commissioner for fifteen years, was in the State Legislature, served in the bishopric, and as a Patriarch. He was also captain in the cavalry in the Waler and Black Hawk Indian Wars, in the Utah militia, and also participated in the Echo Canyon campaign.
Mary fitted well her role of devoted mother to thirteen children and supported her husband in his activities as mayor, merchant, and patriarch.
She passed away March 4, 1896, at the age of sixty-two in Payson, Utah.

Mary Leaver (Page)
Mary Leaver was born in Brooklyn, State of New York, 26 Auguest 1837. She was the second daughter of Samuel and Mary Ann Leaver. Her parents joined the Mormon church in New York, under the preaching of Apostle parley P. Pratt, in March 1840. They were among the forty persons baptized in New York at that time, of which Parley P. Pratt speaks of in his autobiography. Mary was baptized by him in April 1844, before she was eight years old.
Mary's parents gathered to Nauvoo with the Saints in the year 1844, where they remained through the persecutions until the summer, September 1846. The advance companies of the Saints, under the Twelve, crossed the Mississippi River in February 1846, in the dead of winter after the authorities had entered into a formal covenant with the State of Illinois, that the remnant of their people should be given time to prepare and follow, but after the Twelve left, though the Saints had rapidly left, company after company of the mob marched upon Nauvoo, and expelled the remnant of the Saints after the battle of Nauvoo, in September 1846. Her parents and family, with the exterminated Saints, left Nauvoo on the night beofre the triumphant entry of the Mob into Nauvoo, under the leadership of the famous Mobocrat Tom Bogard. On the Iowa side of the river they laid in their tents for weeks, the whole camp was sick and in the heart-rending condition of distress, so graphically and pathetically described by Colonel Thomas Kane who witnessed the scene, here they, with the rest of the starving Saints, were fed by the quails which flocked over their camp and came into their very tents. In the history of the Church, this circumstance is spoken of as the Lord feeding his people by the miracle of quails as He did with ancient Israel in the wilderness.
Mary's family migrated to Utah in 1852, the same year as her husband.
Mary Leaver married Jonathan Socwell Page in August 1855. She was the mother of 13 children.
Mary died in March 1896 at the age of 58.
