Everil Max "E.M." Page (April 28, 1893 – March 15, 1959) was an American lawyer and judge in the state of Oregon. He was appointed as the 63rd justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, serving for less than a year between 1949 and 1950.[1]

Early life

Page was born in Marion County, Oregon, on April 28, 1893, near Salem, Oregon.[2] He received his high school education at Salem High School, and in 1913 he graduated from Willamette University College of Law.[3][4] In 1914 he passed the bar examination.[2]

Judicial career

In 1941, after the state legislature created a new judicial district, E.M. Page was appointed to the new court as circuit judge for Marion County, Oregon.[2] Then, on July 8, 1949, Oregon Governor Douglas McKay appointed Page to replace Percy R. Kelly on the Oregon Supreme Court.[5][6] Due to "ill health", Page resigned from Oregon’s high court less than a year later on January 18, 1950, and McKay replaced him with Earl C. Latourette.[1][6]

Everil Max Page died on March 15, 1959, at the age of 65.[1]
