Henry Bertrand Price[1] (June 29, 1869 – September 23, 1941) was a United States Navy Captain who served as the 30th Naval Governor of Guam. As a naval officer, he served on many assignments, including with the Bureau of Ordnance. In 1913, he became executive officerofUSS Delaware, and two years later commanding officerofUSS Melville. Becoming governor in 1923, Price focused on agricultural development, particularly in the region of Mangilao, Guam. He also ordered increased road building and the establishment of the Guam Department of Agriculture.

Upon graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1895, Price became an assistant engineer and an ensign.[2] He became a lieutenant in 1901.[3] With this rank, he served aboard both USS Don Juan de Austria and USS Princeton.[4] In 1907, he served in the Bureau of Ordnance.[5] In 1913, he became the executive officer aboard the battleship USS Delaware.[6] In December 1915, he set sail as the first commanding officerofUSS Melville.[7] He was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1917.[8]

Governorship

Price served as Governor of Guam from August 4, 1923, to August 26, 1924.[9] During his term, he encouraged an increase in self-sufficient farming. He also developed the area of Mangilao, Guam by building a road to the village and ordering the establishment of the Guam Department of Agriculture and a dairy factory there.[10]

In December 1897, Price married Katherine French Banks at St. Andrews Cathedral in Honolulu, Hawaii. [11][12]

Legacy

[edit]

The Captain Henry B. Price Elementary School is named in his honor.[13] The school was opened in 1958 and serves grades kindergarten through five; it was named because of Price's push for agricultural development in the area in the 1920s.[10]
