FORMER WILKES-BARREAN SUCCUMBS TO HEAT IN PHILADELPHIA.

Overcome by the heat, Fred H. Price, a former well known resident of this city, dropped dead on the street in Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon. He was employed as assistant steward at the Bellevue-Stratford and at the time of his residence in Wilkes-Barre was for a long period the proprietor of the Luzerne House. After that he engaged in the circus business and for the past nine months he had been connected with the hotel where he was employed at the time of his death.
Deceased was born at White Haven on Feb. 18, 1860, and is survived by his wife and five children, Flora, Eva, Frederick, Harry and William; also by four sisters, Mrs. John Garman of West Pittston, Mrs. George Geisleman, Elizabeth and Anna, all of this city. The remains arrived in this city over the Lehigh Valley Railroad last evening.

Fred H. PRICE, proprietor of the "Grand Central Hotel," Wilkes-Barre, was born in White Haven, Pa., February 18, 1860, and is the son of John Henry and Louisa C. (Fuehr) Price. Fred H. Price was educated at the public schools of White Haven, also at Wyoming Seminary, and at the Commercial College at Kingston, attending the latter in the fall of 1880 and spring of 1881. He was also clerk at the "Wyoming Valley Hotel" (ex-sheriff J. B. Stark, proprietor), from October 25, 1878, till May 1, 1884, and then accepted the position of chief clerk for ex-Sheriff Aaron Whitaker, at the "Exchange Hotel," where he remained until April 1, 1892, when he embarked in his present hotel business. On October 23, 1884, Mr. Price was united in marriage with Miss Emma J., daughter of William H. and Mary C. (Shiber) Tennant, natives of Pennsylvania, and of this union there are (1892) three children, as follows: Pearl Patience, born February 11, 1885: Etta May, born August 7, 1887, and Flora Henrietta, born July 30, 1889. Mr. Price is a member of the German Lutheran Church, his wife of the Franklin Street Methodist Church. He is a member of Wilkes-Barre Lodge. No. 61, F. & A. M.; Wilkes-Barre Lodge No. 704, I. O. O. F.; Germania Castle No. 72, A. O. K. of M. C.; Washington Camp no. 408, P. O. S. of A. of Wilkes-Barre, and Diamond Council No. 132, Jr. O. U. A. M. at White Haven. In politics he affiliates with the Republican party, and was elected on February 18, 1890, at the age of thirty years, the first councilman of the Sixteenth Ward of the city of Wilkes-Barre, and he is, perhaps, the youngest man that ever was elected to such an important office; and, besides, he is nothing if not enterprising for he has erected eighteen tenement houses in that progressive city for himself within the past five years, and still only a young self-made man.
