Bronze
USA, Bronze Medal, 219.90g, Page Belcher, 1950-1972, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESNTATIVES. STATE OF OKLAHOMA. MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Page Henry Belcher was born in Jefferson, Oklahoma Territory, on April 21, 1899, on the claim his father took in the opening of the Cherokee Strip. He attended high school in Jefferson and Medford and studied at Friends University, Wichita, Kansas, and at the University of Oklahoma, lettering in football, basketball, baseball, and track. He later received an honorary LL.D. from Oklahoma City University. He served in the military during World War I. In the 1950 election Belcher won Oklahoma's Eighth District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and in 1952 he gained the First District seat. He served in the House from January 3, 1951, to January 3, 1973. Because the district was one of the few Republican strongholds in Oklahoma at that time, the congressman easily won reelection, except in 1958 when some constituents reacted against the Eisenhower administration's agriculture policy. Because of redistricting, Belcher moved from Enid to Tulsa in 1967 in order to remain a resident of the First District. During his first term in the House Belcher was appointed to the Agriculture Committee, on which he served throughout his congressional career. He eventually became the ranking minority member of the committee and its Wheat Subcommittee. While in Congress, he worked for the development of the Arkansas River Navigation System. In June 1972 Belcher announced that he would retire at the end of the congressional session, because his age and health prevented him from meeting the demands and pressures of congressional business. He returned to Oklahoma and resided in Midwest City. He died on August 2, 1980, and was buried in Enid's Memorial Park Cemetery. Extremely Fine, Scarce.
