JOHN HEBER PRICE

History records that three families, George and Maria Mousley powell, Edward and Emma Powell Payne and James and Ann Powell Price, spent their first winter in Heber, Utah in a one-room log cabin, where the Conrad farm is located, a total of 17 people. In the spring, the Prices moved to Charleston, Utah and the Powell and Payne families moved to Glenwood, Sevier County, Utah.

John H. Price was born to Ann Powell and James Price Jr. He grew up and attended school in Charleston, Utah. He married Sarah Ellen Winterton, February 22, 1893, in the Manti Temple. This was a distance of 100 miles from Charleston, which meant going to Manti by horse and sleigh in the winter time.

In 1897, John and Sarah and family of H. Fred, Nellie Ann and baby Montesse moved back to Heber and farmed on the Hatch Farm. While living on the Hatch Farm, Abram Hatch built the first creamery. It was known as the Hatch Creamery and was built across the road from the present home of Vern and Relva Price. In 1902, whey moved back to Charleston.

John Price was Wasatch County Road Supervisor and helped build the road in Provo Canyon. He helped build the old wooden bridges across the Provo River between Charleston and Midway. He was a stockman and dairyman. He owned prize horses, a team and riding pony. In latter years he trained them to match skills at horse pulling contests.

IN 1911 he was called on a mission to California, leaving a son Fred and daughters Florence and Rula. Another son, Vern, was born six months after his departure. He often joked, "I have seven children and have not seen one of them."

When George Price, his brother and family, sold their farm to move to Arizona, John and his son Fred purchased the farm. Fred and his wife, Ruby Bagley Price, moved there to live and raise their family. This required constant work to pay off the indebtedness and provide for the two families. Most Saturdays, in the fall, they left early in the morning with teams and wagons to get loads of wood for winter heat, in the hills west of the farm.

John was active in civic affairs. he was County Road Supervisor for 10 years and was on the Town Board for 20 years. He served on the Midway Charleston Grazing Association for many years. He had a special gift of friendliness and often reached into his pocket to give money to parents of missionaries or people in need.

He was found dead with a pitch fork in his hand. He had been getting ready to feed the cows when he died. He was 82 years old and still milking cows, which he enjoyed doing. This was on October 26, 1951.
