William Henry Price, one of our energetic
business men, was born in Wales. Educated in England, he came to
America in his twenty-second year, locating in Cleveland O., where he was
for several years in the shipping and packing business. His health
failing him, he sold out and went to Europe where he spent one year.
After his return, and three more years in business, his health again failing
him, he sold out and located in Norwalk on a farm within a short distance
of the city. As soon as he recuperated, he again established himself in
business, engaging in several enterprises. In 1889 he with C.H. Stewart
and W.O. Monnett organized the Norwalk Savings Bank Co. of which he is
now
president. He is vice president of the First National Bank, and is also interested in Cleveland Banks, and in a great many industries of Norwalk. When the Sandusky, Milan, and Norwalk electric railroad was projected he took an active interest in it, and was for a considerable time one of its directors. He, with Mr. C.H. Stewart, has built more than 100 houses in Norwalk, and has a great deal towards the extension and building up of the city. |
