If you are interested I could tell you about my great-grandfather Erlindur Arnason....and my grandfather Autna Arnason and my aunt Stana Arnason (Thomas)...they lived in Winter Quarters and Scofield. Elrindur's had these first kids by Johanna. Erlindur was a miner in Clear Creek. Stana worked in a boarding house in Winter Quarters. Autna worked at 17-18 years old bringing the horse teams out of the mine at Winter Quarters with the cars of coal. He feared the underground environment of the mines. While doing this in late February 1900 he threw a snowball at some Finnish miners who were considered lower on the social or racial pecking order. Superentendent and LDS bishop saw this and fired Autna on the spot. Aunta then went down to the Spanish Fork with his half brother Gil Bearnson to get an early start in shearing sheep on the bench above Spanish Fork. When they heard of the disaster, they got on the special rescue train heading for Scofield. Autna told me in the 1970's of seeing the dead being brought out in the cars that would normally haul the coal out of the mine. He said one of the managers of the mine was on the mine's mouth when a carload of bodies were being taken out. One of the bodies had mucus and blood coming from his nose and mouth. The manager stopped the car and took out his linen handerchief and cleaned the fellow up. My grandfather cried when he told this story. I found out that the young man who took over my grandfathers job of hauling the coal cars out of the mine was blown across a draw and had a hole put in his head. He had a plate put in his head and was never quite the same. My grandfather apparently had enough of the coal industry....he developed a later, successful career in the postal service out of SLC and California. Without the disaster he probably would have stayed in Carbon County.

Return to History IndexRemains of Guy Frederico, 22, digger, were shipped by the J.E. Flynn Funeral Parlors to Grand Junction, Colorado, Sunday, where double funeral services for him and his brother, Orlando, were held. He was born in New York City, January 11, 1907, the son of Frank and Rosa Cottilina (should be Catalina or Catalano) Frederico. Surviving him are his widow, Addie Frederico, one child, Dolores, 1, and his parents.
Remains of Orland Frederico, 21, digger, brother of Guy, were forwarded by J.E. Flynn Funeral Pralors to Grand Junction, Colorado, Sunday for double funeral rites. He was born in Grand Junction, November 19, 1908. He is survived by his parents.
Two brothers, Guy and Orlando Frederico after being inseparable companions for twenty years met death together in the explosion which raked the Standardville mine Thursday evening. Rescuers who penetrated into the slope No. 2 of the Mine No. 1 tunnel reported finding the Fredericos with their arms around each other, and each with a wet towel over his face indicating that they knew "their time had come."
Orlando was almost twenty-two months older than Guy and ever since childhood had not only been brothers but were real pals, as their fellow workers expressed it. The former was born in New York City and came with his parents to Grand Junction at the age of two, where Guy was born. Since that time they have worked and travelled together with no lengthy separation. The bodies were forwarded to Grand Junction, Colorado where the pair grew into manhood and where their parents, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Frederico now live. Guy is survived by a nineteen year old wife, Addie and a small daughter, Dolores, 1.

Forrest Sloan Dunlevy who died at Provo on Thursday, was laid to final rest in the Price City cemetery Monday afternoon. Interment followed services at the Price Community church that were conducted under the direction of Joppa Lodge No. 26, F. and A. M. of Price.
A form of epilepsy brought about Dunlevy's death. He first had a stroke two years ago. Following treatment, he apparently became his normal self again. He is believed to have made the mistake of plunging himself too deeply into his business affairs, with the result that a recent second stroke laid him low.
For the two years past Dunlevy had been consulting engineer for the city. Before that time he was engineer when L. A. McGee was mayor, and was county road agent for six years.
Dunlevy was born at Kansas City on December 7, 1885. He was graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in the Year 1908. He was elected to receive the degrees in masonary in Trinidad lodge No. 89, A. F. & M., Trinidad lodge No. 89, F. and A. M., member of the local Joppa lodge, being the first treasurer. Dunlevy had been a resident of Price for about 12 years.
The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Dunlevy, now residing at Berkley, Cal. He is survived by his widow and two small daughters, Marion, 10, and Helen Grace, 6. At Berkley beside his parents also reside a sister, Mrs. Clifford A. Templeton. A brother, Joe H. Dunlevy, lives at Indianapolis, Ind.

Jan. 1913, The News Advocate, Price, UT reads:
S.H. Gilson, famed as the discoverer of gilsonite and also as one of the pioneers in the art of serial navigation, has invented a new type of flying machine, a handsome working model of which is on exhibition at Salt Lake City. The Gilson machine is a monoplane, designed to navigate the air and also capable of floating on water.
Gilson's interest in flying machines dates back more than half a century. He first began to consider the question of emulating the flight of birds in 1855 and since that time has perfected sixteen models of aeroplanes. His latest creation embraces some new principles which may make the navigation of air as safe as locomotion on land.
Gilson sprang into national prominence years ago when he discovered the hydrocarbon used so largely in the arts and known the world over as gilsonite, after its discoverer.
"History of Carbon County" by Ronald G. Watt says:
"The Gilson Asphaltum Store, the Emery County Mercantile, and the Price Trading Company had transportation contracts with Uinta Basin entities. In addition to controlling some of the freighting, they sold goods to the people of the Price River Valley and also to the towns of Emery County and the Duchesne area. A good example of the different products in stock was included in a 1891 Gilsonite Asphaltum store advertisement which lists hats, boots, groceries, tea, coffee, syrup, molasses, vinegar, flour, cornmeal, dried fruits, canned goods, confectionery items, tobacco, hardware, patent medicine, and many other items. If the stores did not have a needed product in stock, they depended on the railroad to transport the item into the area in a relatively short period of time. In April 1891 Gilson Asphaltum advertised that it had received a large shipment of clothes. The whole community must have been waiting, for in just two days the store sold over 300 pairs of pants. Sam Gilson was heavily involved with his gilsonite business in Uinta; therefore, in a few years he sold his store in Price to Price Trading Company, giving it the competitive edge in Price. Alpha Ballinger was the successful manager of Price Trading. Emery County Mercantile continued for another fifteen years before leaving Carbon County."

Return to History IndexThe Sun-Advocate, Thursday, February 6, 1947, pg 14 "Centennial Stories" of Six Oldest Women in Price as told to Irene Cloward O'Discoll
I was born in Sanpete county, a daughter of William and Sarah Allred Blain. My mother died while I was still a child and I was reared by my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Allred. We came to Price in 1883 by ox team and lived in a dugout for the first three years. That same year I was baptized in the Price River by George Downard, which was the first baptism in the community.
My grandfather raised the first garden in Price and in order to irrigate it he plowed a ditch from the Price River above the garden and we children dipped water out of the ditch with buckets twice each week and poured it down the garden furrows. In spite of this makeshift method of irrigation the garden flourished.
In my early teens I hired out to a family of twelve for fifty cents a week which was considered a fairly good wage at that time.
The nearest stores were located at Scofield and Castle Dale. Sunday school was held by Mr. Sorensen at his cabin, and sacrament being passed in a tin cup and after the bread was passed the same cup was filled again with water and passed around again. Eight people made up the congregation.
Coyotes were so numerous that our neighbors, the Rob Powell family, took their pig into their dugout each night where it slept in a corner safe from the predatory animals.
I have seen Price grow from a wilderness to the beautiful city it is today, and although I am a "daughter of the pioneers" I have never joined the splendid organization.

Return to History IndexHelper was called upon last Thursday night to mourn for the first one of its boys to lose his life in France. William McComb, 23, was drowned while on duty at the front with the Thirty first engineers corps of which he was a member. He was a son of Mrs. James McComb of Helper and a brother of Mrs. John Buchanan, Mrs. Charles Dougherty, and Mrs. Edward Howe of Helper. He had two other sisters living outside the state. Young McComb began working for the Rio Grande as a helper when he was but 15 years of age and at 19 was a full fledged machinist. He is most highly spoken of by all his acquaintances as a clean, manly young man, devoted to his mother and respected by everyone. He secured permission from the local board in April to join the engineers and within a short time was in France in active service. His mother was deeply affected when she received the sad news and required the services of Dr. Slopanskey to restore her to normal condition. The most sincere sympathy of the entire county goes out to the mother who has so nobly given her only son to the cause of humanity.
Liberty theatre of Helper was crowded Sunday afternoon with friends of the young man and the family who gathered to honor the memory of the young soldier who had given his life. Fitting addresses were made by Julius Shepherd, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., Mayor F. R. Slopanskey, Reverend A. F. Giovannoni and Claude Brown superintendent of the L.D.S. Sunday School. Music was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Wilstead and others.

Helper was stricken with sorrow yesterday evening when a telegram reached here from Washington stating that William J. McComb had been drowned in France. The telegram stated that he was drowned on August 13th and that the body was recovered. There were no particulars. Will McComb was born in Helper about 23 years ago and lived here all his life. On April 17 he enlisted in the Engineers corps and in one month was sent to France. He is the first boy from Helper to lose his life while in service overseas.

Mrs. House:
My dear Mrs. House, I wrote to your mother the day after your brother was drowned but evidently the letter miscarried. I regret very much to have had to write to the relatives of many of my men a death notice and especially the death notice of a man who never gave me any cause for complaint.
He was in all ways a model soldier, prompt in obedience and cheerful as well. He never missed a roll call nor was he ever late to a formation. He always worked hard when given a task to do. In fact, I considered him one of the most capable of the young soldiers and would shortly have recommended him for his first promotion.
We were hurrying the construction of our camp and he had been on the detail, that was, getting sand out of the River Loire. The Loire is not so very deep but is very swift with a shifting sand bottom. The River at this point is about 1/4 a mile wide. Your brother worked a double shift in order to get off this afternoon. Before he went to camp he decided to take a swim. On the far side of the river there is a whirlpool and he had the misfortune to swim into this. He shouted for help and the other men immediately went to his assistance. He had been sucked under and was in the water only 15 minutes. The doctors were waiting on the bank when the men brought his body ashore but they could not resusicate him. His knees were drawn up under his chin when he was taken from the water seeming to indicate he had had a cramp. The body is buried in the cemetery at the town of Saumur and will be shipped home to you at the Government's expense as soon as possible.
I have had a picture taken of the grave and as soon as they are developed and printed, I will mail you one.
A soldier expects to lose his life in action and when so lost it is accepted as war's fortune but I regret very much to lose a man accidently.
His personal effects were shipped a short time ago. If you do not receive them let me know and if there is anything I can do I will be pleased and more to do it for you. It is the least that can be done to reward service; honest and faithful, character; excellent and O.K.
