Charles Page - Sand Springs, OK - Citizen Memorials on Waymarking.com

Charles Page (6/2/1860 - 12/27/1926) was a philanthropist, industrialist, and early settler in Oklahoma Indian Territory. Arriving in 1901, he was responsible for establishing the town of Sand Springs, as a home for orphans and widows. The town is Oklahoma's only planned industrial town. In 1907, Charles Page bought land west of Tulsa, and established a colony for orphans and widows.

This memorial stands in a small triangular park at the corner of Main and Broadway. It consists of a tall granite wall, with a platform about seven feet above ground. Standing on the platform is a life-sized sculpture of Charles Page. At ground level on the left is a sculpture of a mother and baby, and to the right, a sculpture of two children.

The granite wall is engraved: "CHARLES PAGE / Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the lease of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
