Howard Hamilton Price

  General Notes:

Listed as a house painter in 1900 and 1910 Censuses and in 1920 as a merchant in the paint industry, taking over his dad's store after he died in 1929. No appearance in subsequent censuses. Howard was married, but not for very long. Per John, "Howard spent every weekend in Lavalette, NJ, with a group of buddies who owned a house there. In the summer he would go by train to Toms River where he had his 1929 Chevrolet stored in a public garage during the week and then drive to Lavalette. After his dad died Howard ran the store and closed the painting business. Mother told me that he had attended Central Manual Training School and worked for S. S. White Co. in Phila. He was offered a position wth them out in the mid-west, but at that time his mother, Emily, was ill and did not want him to go. Howard, Mother and a long time employee ran the store until the mid-40s when it was sold....Howard H. Price was incised on the base of the Family Stone. At the time of Howard's death the cost for a stone like those for Oliver and Emily was approximately $1700. His grave was unmarked for some years. In the early 1990s I had the inscription placed on the stone."
