He passed away, surrounded by his family, in Heber City, Utah, on April 7, 2007. Dad spent his life as a caretaker. He lovingly looked after the needs of his family, his animals, and his land. Through his occupation as a successful dairyman, he was able to combine those things that he loved most as he worked side by side with his children and grandchildren. Dad was a simple man who enjoyed serving others. After serving his country in World War II, he served his church by completing an LDS mission to the New England States. Dad enjoyed the many friendships he made as he served in two bishoprics, on the high council, and on the board and as the president of the Midway Irrigation Company. He magnified whatever church calling he was given, and he spent many hours fulfilling his duties on numerous agriculture boards and committees. In honor of his service and accomplishments, Dad received several recognitions including the Master M-Men Award and the Utah Dairyman's Old Timers Award. Dad wil] be remembered for his integrity, his wisdom, his sense of humor, and his hearty laugh. We wfll miss him greatly and look forward to the time when we will see him again. Family members surviving J. Fred include Nadine Giles, his eternal sweetheart of 56 years; his three children John (Brenda), Laurel (Joe) Rail, and Jay (Becky); 16 COURTESY PARK CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUM Happy Birthday Always a threat By B e a Mayes, researcher, Park City Museum In 1916, when the Judge Mining and Smelting Company built its Electrolytic Zinc Smelter in Deer Valley, "fire protection was one of the first considerations of the management," according to The Park Record. The entire plant was encircled with three inch water pipe. Six fire plugs were attached to the pipe, and 2000 feet of 2 1/2" hose were always ready for instant use. The circle of water pipe was filled with water at all times. After the water made its circle, it went into the mill for use in the milling process. There would never be a lack of water in the firewater pipe because the mill would stop operating if there was a stoppage of flow in the firewater pipe. This water came from a 48,000 gallon tank on the hillside, supplied from the Judge tunnel, and an extra main from the city Water'system would J. Fred Price grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren.

Management's forethought was put to the test on January 23,1918. A little after 8 p.m. that night, "an alarm of fire was again sounded and our citizens were horrified to see the vivid fire reflection from the direction of the big Judge electric smeiter over in Deer Valley. Fears of the destruction of the million dollar plant were general" To lend assistance (this was in the days of the volunteer fire department, and other able-bodied citizens also often pitched in to help fight fire), "hundreds of citizens started at once for the scene of the conflagration. It was found that the upper portion of the big roaster building was in flames-but so perfect was thefirefighting equipment of the big plant and so excellently handled by Foreman Dray and his crew, that withinfiveminutes after the plant fire alarm was sounded, four streams from 2 1/2 inch hose were playing on the'flames-and so effective and systematic the work of the thirteen employees on duty, that before outside help came to their assistance, the fire was practically under control." The cause of the fire was over heating of one of thefloorsfroma ventilating door in the roaster. The building was saved below the point of starting of the fire (photo). Work was resumed as soon as the fire was under control, and the total delay in operations because of the fire was one hour and fifteen minutes. Management, and The Park Record, gave high praise to the plant's night crew. Courtesy of the Park City Historical Society and Museum arid the B^ ^ t o C i j i 92.Y Mabel E.
