• Notes

  In the 1880 Richland County, Ohio Census, William is employed as a machinist. He, his wife, their children, and his sister-in-law reside in Mansfield next door to his parents and siblings. According to his mother, Lydia's, December 2, 1912 obituary, William was already deceased at that time as he is not mentioned among her seven surviving children. William H. Price who was "killed by cars" at age 52 in Galion, Ohio on 2 February 1905 is buried in Mansfield Cemetery, Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio. The following is his obituary from the Mansfield Daily Shield, February 3, 1905: PARTICULARS REGARDING THE DEATH OF W. H. PRICE. Concerning the death of Conductor Price, reported in the Shield yesterday the ASkron Times-Demoncrat says: William Henry Price of Galion one fo the oldest and best known conductors on the Erie railroad was struck and instantly killed by B. & O. passenger train No. 5, at 2:50 Thursday morning, near Exchange street this city. Price was running an east bound freight train on the Erie and had just pulled into the Exchange street siding making a stop to do some switching and pick up some cars to take on to Kent. Price rode on the locomotive until the train stopped, so as to be able to direct the engineer. Just as the train stopped, Price stepped down and in a cloud of steam and the noise of his own train, he was unable to see or hear, and stepped onto the B. & O. tracks just as the fast passenger came running by. He was struck and hurled about fifty feet. Another member of his crew who saw the accident rushed to Price, but life was already extinct. The injuries were a fractured skull, a broken leg and bruises about the spine. Park's ambulance took the remains to the morgue and they will be taken to Galion this evening by a committee from Crawford Division Order Railway Conductors, of which the decedent has been, for many years, financial secretary. This committee arrived from Galion this morning. Mr. Price was about 54 years old. He was twice married and lieaves (sic) his wife and five children. Two of the children live here, Mrs. Albert R. Stannah, 290 Perkin(s) street and J. N. Price 504 Ohio street. Mr. Price was a prominent member of several secret societies and of the Disciple church, being one of the officials of the Galion church, under the pastorate of Rev. John P. Sala, formerly of this city. A peculiar feature of the accident is that Mrs. Price is left a widow for the second time by railway accident, her first husband having met death in a similar manner ten years ago. She was married about four years ago to Mr. Price. The dead man had been in the employ of the Erie all his life and had run a train for may years. He was one of the most popular men on the road. He has several brothers who also work for the Erie.
