Death Claims Former Resident of County
H. K. Price of Kansas, Buried at Union Chapel Wednesday
H. K. Price, a former resident of the Ira community, passed away last week at his home at Homewood, Kansas, following an illness with Malta fever for several months and a sudden attack of influenza.
Funeral services for Herman K. Price of Homewood, Kansas, were held Wednesday afternoon at the Union Chapel, just west of Ira, with the Rev. Simmons of Mingo officiating. The music was furnished by a Ladies Quartet, composed of Mesdames W. Lowery, Z. Jones, S. Schroyer, and E. Simmons. The pall bearers were: Frank Tramel, Nelson Hammerly, Charles Weston, Charles Watt, Wilford Bond, and Hugh Jontz.
He was laid to rest in the family lot in the Union Chapel cemetery.
Relatives attending the services were: Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Price and son Donald of Ira, Fred Price and Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Bond of Colfax, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Jontz of Rhodes, and Kenneth Price of Oto, Iowa, besides many cousins of the deceased, living in Ira and vicinity. A sister, Mrs. Caroline Jackson, of Tacoma, Washington, and a brother, Walter Price, of Outlook, Washington, were unable to be present.
Herman Kinsman Price, son of William O. and Martha Tramel Price, was born in Marshall county, Iowa, on March 25th, 1869, and passed away in Williamsburg, Kansas, March 1st, 1931 at the age of 61 years, 11 months and 6 days. Having been affected with Malta fever for a year and a half, he was unable to overcome an attack of influenza from which he suffered intensely for four weeks.
When six years of age he went to Riverside, California, with his parents, where they lived for nearly five years. Returning to Iowa they located on a farm south of Ira, where they resided until the year 1901, when they moved to Ira.
After a short time he located on a farm near Indianola, Iowa, moving from there to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he resided until the spring of 1919. From there he moved to a farm near Homewood, Kansas, where he spent the remainder of his life.
He was an honest, hard-working man, ever ready to lend a helping hand to a needy friend or neighbor. As one Homewood neighbor remarked, “This world would be a much better place in which to live if there were more men in it like Herman Price.”
He was God fearing man and believed in the immortality of the soul and stood firmly for the right as he saw it.
He is survived by three brothers, Walter of Outlook, Wash., William I. of Ira, Iowa, and Frederick O., of Colfax, Iowa, and Fredrick O., of Colfax, Iowa, and one sister, Mrs. Carline Jackson, of Tacoma, Wash., besides many other relatives and friends.
