ti Ammeainc Anumai ‘*This is just the barest of the career of one whom we all knew as one of the most vivid and colorâ€" ful personalities of our ntance. It was just 16 years ago |that I first met Mr. Price and instantly I knew that he was big not mérely in stature, but in nature and ‘accomâ€" plishment. Great charm of manner, natural dignity, hearty humor, a keen sense of life‘s refinements and proprieties, a student always of huâ€" man affairs, entirely free from conâ€" ceit in himself, kindly, human, true â€"â€"these were some of his characterisâ€" tics as he moved through life with grace and freedom, covering great distances in his stride, and always adding to his own knowledge and to the happiness of others. t "Many recollections of him will come to us, for he was one who could not fail to make himself felt. in Savannah, Mo., on Nov. 9, 1856, and received there his early educaâ€" tion. As a boy in his teens the lure of the West proved irresistible and at a time when many youngsters are going to college he was gaining experience in California, Nevada and Oregon as a cowboy on a cattleâ€" ranch, a worker in the silver mines, a stageâ€"driver on the Western Overâ€" land road and a Wellsâ€"Fargo messenâ€" ger and route agent. To the very last the flavor of these years reâ€" mained with Mr. Price. In his midâ€" twenties he became a salesman for a elothing house in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern Caliâ€" formia and established a very wide reputation. . At the age of 40 he ecame to Chicago and established the business which bears his name. For many years he had traveled & great deal in this country and abroad. Blessed all his life with unusual health and vigor he had had an opâ€" mfioumemthmfiofi:vhiqh he had not fully recovered when pneumonia 'umolwo_bk'm. Last Sunday he passed nfiy. sufâ€" fering no pain in his final illness, 209 PAGE FPOUR The Rev. Frank Fitt, former pasâ€" tor of Highland Park Presbyterian Church, delivered the funeral serâ€" mon for the late Edward V, Price Thursday of last week. Rev. Fitt spoke as follows of his friend of many years; "Edward Valentine Price was born in Tribute to the > * Late Ed V.

Psn o n uis "A little more than three ago Mr. Price made a trip to Savan« nah, Mo., just to look once more at the familiar scenes of his bo j It was written up in the local paper, what Mr. Price did in that little town, the people to whom ‘he spoke, his interest in the library, which he had given and endowed,. his eom;‘ ments on current affairs. The reâ€" porter, whoever he was, luddetughfi;;; unconsciously sométhing of the in« formality and the deep human note of Mr. Price. He has one sentence which I want to quote: ‘Mr. Price‘s most enjoyable visit here has added new life to many‘. That sums it up. He added new life to all who m:z, him and particularly to those of us who were privileged to be his friends and feel the inspiration of, his fresh, creative spirit He alâ€" ways gave us something to think about and very frequently it was put in an original and compelling way. And when one can do that for his fellows he is performing a true service. That explains why so many letters have come in these last few days to the one who shared life with him for so long. Here are two sentences from two of these letters: "To have enpoyed his friendâ€" ship I consider one of the greatest privileges of my ‘life‘; ‘If every one to whom your devoted husband has| done some kindly deed could sing to| you his praise, it‘ would be . the| greatest and most blissful chorus that has ever greeted your mortal| There are some people whom we meet in life with whom it is quite I can see him now in my mind as 1 saw him many; times through the yearsâ€"at Exmoor after a golf game discussing national affairs, (for he was a true patriot and loved his country and was zealous for m welfare)â€"showing his beloved 4 tures in his home, taking delight in going over the finer points of hig appreciationâ€"his many stories, i he had a genius for this, something akin to Lincoln‘s, and almost always his story was really a deep lrll * nificant comment on life, Onée mem+ ory in particular I can never forget, a morning when he called at my home in his car and. brought me down to his great business house and spent 2 hours or more conduct« ing me all over it himself, It was a gracious ‘act, one of ‘ the m::} kindnesses he performed for me | for others all through the years. .
