Born at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on 20 September 1871, one of six children of Lemuel LePage (1840-1914) and Mary Priscilla Snelgrove (1842-1906), he came to Winnipeg with his family in the 1880s and later worked as manager of the department store Jerry Robinson and Company.

On 9 August 1893, he married Jessie Wilhemina Broatch (1868-1944) at Winnipeg. They had three children: Irene Ethel LePage (1895-?), Morley Graham LePage (1897-?), and Alfred Gordon LePage (1898-1979). In 1914, the family moved into a new home at 1301 Wellington Crescent. In retirement sometime before 1929, he moved to Victoria, British Columbia.

He died at Vancouver, British Columbia on 9 June 1949 and was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery.
