- Newspaper Article - Tuesday Evening December 13, 1904 Oswego Daily Times - Oswego, New York - Claude Price Sustains Bad Fracture of the Leg While Felling Trees - Pulaski, December 13 - Claude Price, while engaged in work in the woods near Richland Saturday, met with a distressing accident while chopping. He had felled a large tree, which in falling became lodged against another tree. Price was engaged in dislodging the tree when it suddenly gave way, striking him on the left leg and breaking it between the ankle and the knee. Price, who is about 19 years old, was placed upon a sleigh and taken to the house of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Price, about a mile and a half North of Richland. Dr. Henry W. Caldwell of this village was called and reduced the fracture, which proved to be an unusually severe one. The attending physician was seen by the reporter last evening and stated that young Price was resting as comfortably as could be expected under the circumstances.
Newspaper Obituary - Monday Evening February 21, 1921 Oswego Daily Times - Oswego, New York - Death of Claude S. Price of Richland Saturday - Pulaski, February 21 - Claude S. Price of Richland died suddenly Saturday while on a hunting trip in the woods two miles north of that place. He was accompanied by Ray Naise of Syracuse. The two nimrods started out during the forenoon to hunt small game and observed a raccoon making its way to the opening of a large hollow tree, which was chopped down and the coon then beat it for a woodpile nearby before the hunters could bring him down. Proceeding some distance north, the two men lingered about the locality a short time. Price then complained of feeling unwell and seated himself upon a large log. He then requested Maise to return to the place where the tree was cut down and secure the axe, which had been left behind in the excitement incidental to the efforts made to capture the coon. Returning in a few minutes the Syracuse nimrod was horrified at finding the dead body of his companion on the ground in close proximity to the log. It was taken to a nearby shanty and Dr. Leroy F. Hollis of Lacona, a coroner for the eastern end of Oswego county was notified over the long distance telephone. He directed the removal of the body to the Price home at Richland, where it was taken in charge by Smiley J. Hewitt, a Pulaski undertaker and where Coroner Hollis viewed the remains and took the statement of Maise, deeming an inquest unnecessary. He signed the death certificate, giving the cause of death as resulting from a chronic heart difficulty. His father, John Price of this town, dropped dead in a Syracuse hotel nearly three years ago, his death resulting from a similar malady. Claude Price was born in this town 34 years ago and for a long time had been in the employ of the New York Central lines at Richland as section hand. He was well known here. His widow survives. Funeral services will be held from the family home Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. and from the Church of Christ, Richland, half an hour later. Interment at Richland Cemetery.
