EMMA C. PRICE

  Mrs. Emma C. Price, widow of James Price, of Meyersdale, died at 9:45 o'clock 
last Friday night at the Memorial Hospital, Cumberland where she had been a 
patient for a little over a week.  Mrs. Price, who lived with her mother, Mrs. 
W. B. Cook and sister, Miss Alice Cook, in the Cook family home on Broadway 
since the death of her husband, suffered a decline in health during the past 
year and had gone to the hospital in Cumberland for special treatment, hoping to 
regain her health, but to no avail.
  Mrs. Price was born Nov. 24, 1885, in Meyersdale, the daughter of William B. 
and Elizabeth Schrock Cook.  Her father for many years was a justice of the 
peace and insurance agent in Meyersdale.  Early in life she became a member of 
the Main Street Brethren Church and was active in Sunday School and choir work.  
After her marriage to James H. Price, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy 
Price, the couple lived at various times in Gray, Brownsville and finally at 
Somerset, where Mr. Price died in 1937.  While they resided in Somerset, Mrs. 
Price was prominent in music circles and organist and director of the choir in 
the Methodist Church of which she became a member.
  She is survived by her aged mother, two brothers, Charles C. Cook, and Robert 
Cook of Meyersdale; and three sisters, Mrs. P. G. Cober, Somerset; Mrs. E. W. 
Cober, Wilkinsburg, and Alice Cook at home.  A brother, Harry M. Cook, died 
three years ago.
  Funeral services were conducted at the Cook home on Broadway Monday afternoon, 
with Rev. John B. Warman, pastor of the Methodist Church, officiating.  Burial 
under the direction of W. C. Price and Son, morticians, was made in Union 
Cemetery.
