Harvey Price
Harvey Price Passes Beyond
News came to Chester from Chouteau last Friday announcing the death of Harvey Price following a severe stroke of paralysis about New Years. Mr. Price, a well-known horse raiser and rancher of Whitlash came to this country in about 1900 and first had a ranch near Grassy Butte. Later he purchased a ranch northeast of Whitlash and pursued the occupation of raising horses on quite an extensive scale. He was known far and wide as one of the best horsemen in the state and a couple of years ago spent considerable time in riding for movie corporations both in the east and in California. Last summer he received an appointment as state hunter and trapper and was assigned to the territory in the neighborhood of Gilman and Chouteau. He, with his wife and three children, moved to the location, and Mr. Price was on duty when the stroke caught him. It is stated that in some manner he managed to get on his horse and ride seven miles to get assistance. Mr. Price was about 45 years of age, and his friends who know him well state that a squarer man never lived. His body was laid to rest Monday in the Chouteau Cemetery.
