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.

William married Emily Riley. Emily was born in 1852/1853 in Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Rev. Jacob Lischy's Private Pastoral Records for Lischy's Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, 1773 -1901 record the baptism of Henry Stambach who was born 14 September 1785 (this date is within 3 days of the birthdate calculated according to Rev. Henry Stambaugh's cemetery marker). His parents are identified as Philip and Margaret Stambach; the probablity that this is Henry, son of Philip and Barbara, but with some recording error, appears great. The baptismal sponsors were Jacob and Anna Hauser.

Reference is made to Henry in the Columbiana County Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 14, as submitted by Carol Willsey Bell. The record originally appeared in the Ohio Patriot published in New Lisbon by William D. Lepper Saturday, 12 September 1829:


DIED Sunday morning last at the residence of John Watson in
this town, the Rev. John Waggner late of Rockbridge Co., VA,
at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased had left home on foot, a distrance of several hundred miles, in search of two of
his sons, of whom no tidings were had until whitin a few days
of his demise and too late for information to reach them of his
situation. It may be a gratification to his relations and friends
to learn, though he died among strangers, that every care & attention was paid to him by Mr. Watson & family and the
family of Martin Helman, that humanity cound suggest. His remains were interred on Monday in the German Cemetery at which the Rev. Henry Stambaugh officiated in a feeling and impressive manner.

In the 1860 Portage County, Ohi Census, Henry and Hannah continue to reside in Randolph Twp. Henry's Real Estate value is $600.00 and his Personal Estate value is $2,000.00.

In the biographical sketch of A.W. Stambaugh in History of Stark County with an outline sketch of Ohio edited by William Henry Perrin, his grandfather is identified as Rev. Henry Stambaugh. This source does not mention Henry and Catharina's children Jacob or Hannah but does mention a son "Josiah", a daughter, "Emma", and a second daughter bearing the name "Catharine" that are not mentioned in any other document or resource that I have yet found.

That same source explains that Henry married Catharine "...and with his family of children emigrated to Ohio, crossing the river at Pittsburg in a ferryboat. He came to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he rented land twelve years, but finally made his way to the county [Stark], and settled first in Nimishillen Tp., when it was all a wilderness; remaining here seven years, when, he removed to Canton and remained seven years, and finally located in Portage Co., where he died in 1866. He was a minister of the Albright faith, as were also John and Jacob, his brothers, but later in life joined the United Brethren Church. (page 968)."

According to that same county history, Henry's "...ancestor was Philip, a native of Alsace on the Rhine. He and several brothers came to York Co., Pa., and settled there previous to the war of the Revolution. The children of Philip were --- Jacob, Henry, John, Catharine, Mary and Elizabeth. Philip was remarkably fond of hunting and the chase, and upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, purchased several hundred acres of land at South Mountain, in Adams Co., Pa. (967)."
