Extract

Thomas Slater Price, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry in the Heriot-Watt College, Edinburgh, died in a nursing home near that city on 29 October 1949. He was born on 24 August 1875 at Wednesbury, South Staffordshire, the second child and eldest son of Thomas Price, who was for many years the headmaster of a Wesleyan elementary school. His mother, Mary Anne Slater, was a direct descendant of the Edward Slater who is mentioned in John Wesley’s Journal as having assisted in saving his life when attacked by a riotous mob in Wednesbury. He was one of a large family, four brothers and five sisters in all. One brother, the Rev. L. L. Price, B.D., is a well-known Wesleyan Methodist minister. Another, the youngest, Norman J. Price, B.A., was a scholar of St John’s College, Cambridge, and is now manager of the Salt Union works under Imperial Chemical Industries.
