WELL KNOWN CITIZEN ANSWERS LAST CALL

The word that flashed over the city Friday afternoon of last week about two 
o’clock that Frank Price had dropped dead in the office of Denney & Company 
came as a distinct shock to the business men and his many friends. While Mr. 
Price had not been in the best of health for a number of years and for the 
last ten days had been probably a little more poorly than usual there was 
nothing in his condition to indicate a sudden passing.

Frank Price had been a resident of Payette since 1904. During all of his years 
of living in this city he had been constantly in some way connected with the 
valley’s chief interest, the fruit business. By his honest business methods, 
his earnestness of purpose and his unfaltering devotion to trust imposed in 
him he won for himself an enviable reputation among the business men of this 
city and the fruit growers with whom he came in contact. Of a quiet and 
retiring nature he never the less was always willing to bear his share of 
public work and was unceasingly interested in better conditions in the city 
and valley along all lines.

He was born in Keokuk, Iowa, July 20, 1860. When he came to man’s estate he 
worked for twenty years with his uncle Wm. Tackaberry, of the Tackaberry 
Wholesale Grocery Company, of Sioux City, Iowa, first as book-keeper and later 
as traveling salesman. In 1898 he was united in marriage to Miss Jean Shontz, 
who with a daughter fourteen years old remain to mourn the loss of a kind and 
loving husband and an indulgent father. 

In 1904 when Mr. Price first came to Payette he accepted a position as manager 
of the Payette Fruit Packing Company which position he filled with entire 
success and satisfaction until 1908 when he resigned to accept the management 
of the Fruits, Colorado fruit association where he worked for three years 
returning again to Payette in 1910 to accept a responsible position with 
Denney & Company as head book keeper in this city at which place he worked 
until the day of his death, always with the entire respect and confidence of 
his employer. Death came to him while he was at his post of duty busily 
engaged in looking after his employer’s affairs.

The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at two 
o’clock being conducted by Rev. A. L. Howarth. Interment was made in Riverside 
cemetery the services at the grave being in charge of the Masonic fraternity 
of which deceased was an honored member. The wealth of beautiful floral 
offerings from friends were mute testimony to the love and esteem in which 
this man was held. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the 
stricken wife and daughter and to the mother, brother and two sisters who 
residing in Iowa were unable to be present at the services.
