POSTON, Charles Debrille, the "Father of Arizona"
Born in Hardin County, Kentucky, on April 20, 1825, and orphaned when he was just 12 years old,
Charles Poston studied the law, married, fathered a child and settled down to the life of a practicing attorney. When he heard of gold discoveries in the west, he left his wife and daughter with relatives and set off for California. He took a job as chief clerk in the San Francisco custom house and soon found himself in the employ of an agent for the family of General Augustino de Iturbide, who had inherited a large grant of land in what they believed was the new territory, and they wanted it explored for its resources. Poston organized an expedition of 30 men, among whom was Christian Herman EHRENBERG. The party set sail for Sonora, Mexico, but their ship was blown off course and caught in unexpected heavy seas and dashed against the rocks. The men were barely able to reach land safely before the ship sank. Once in Mexico, they were greeted with hostility by the Mexicans, but eventually they were given free access to travel to the new territory. Although everyone searched diligently for the boundaries to the Iturbide land grant, they were never found and subsequently could not be established. Poston and Ehrenberg were convinced that this new land had enormous potential. When the group reached the Colorado River on the return trip to California, the only way to cross the river was by a ferryboat owned by Louis J. F. JAEGER. Because of hostile Indians in the area, there were risks involved in maintaining a ferry service, and JAEGER charged exceedingly high prices for passage. Poston refused to pay the price and instead talked his men into mapping out a city and selling city lots to pay their way across the river. Poston recorded the townsite and called it Colorado City.
PRICE, Frederick Newton
Fred was the grand-nephew of William ROWE, eldest brother of Cynthia ROWE PRICE, who brought his wife and eight small children by wagon train to what would become Maryville on the Salt River below Fort McDowell. Here he built Rowe's Station or Rowe's Crossing and developed a small farm. During the 1870's the Apache Indians succeeded in routing out the small band of settlers and the ROWE family moved closer to Fort McDowell and developed another farm. Before this move, Clarence ROWE was born and is considered the first white boy to be born in the valley. William ROWE's name appears on a document approving the townsite of Phoenix. Fred was also the grandson of William Newton PRICE who came to Prescott in 1864 and became a military courier at Fort Whipple. William met Cynthia ROWE at Fort McDowell and followed her to Santa Ana, California, where they married in 1870. On returning to Arizona with four children, they spent some time in Tombstone where Mr. Price drove a stage. They then went to Fort McDowell in time for Cynthia to deliver Sterling E. PRICE under a mesquite tree on July 3, 1886. They finally settled in Phoenix where Stanley and Robert were born. Fred PRICE was born April 9, 1914 in Phoenix to Sterling PRICE and Edith GRAY. They lived on Van BUren across from Monroe School. His father worked for the City Water Dept. He attended Kenilworth Elementary School, Phoenix Union High School and Phoenix Junior College. He was sports manager for the teams of PUHS and JC. He continued this love for sports all his life. Upon graduation, he was hired as a salesman for Peterson Brook Steiner and Wist and lived in Prescott. About this time, he met Vivian EDGAR on a blind date and asked for her hand in marriage. Fred's grandfather, being a railroad man for Southern Pacific, talked him into joining the railroad, which he did, and retired after 42 years of service. Fred and Vivian celebrated 55 years of marriage September 14, 1996. Their son, Cary, is employed by the U. S. Forest Service. He is married to the former Linda HIGLEY. They have two children, Susan and James and live in Williams, Arizona. John, the second son, resides in Phoenix and is a custom home builder. Fred PRICE was a loving father and husband. He is survived by his wife, Vivian; two sons, Cary and John; two grandchildren, Susan and James; two daughters-in-law, Linda and Darlene and a nephew, Charles Skip THOMAS. Memorial services at Whitney & Murphy Arcadia Funeral Home. The Reverend Dr. William BOICE, Father Patrick REUSE, S. J. and members of Elks Lodge No. 335 will officiate.
