Daughter Elizabeth is buried in Wildwood Cemetery in Williamsport. Herman A Price signed her death certificate. She was a widow at that time, so it's likely Herman is a son.
Found on a message board - this gave me some dates to start with - although he couldn't have died in 1823 if his son was born in 1828. :-)

William C. Arp, one of the well-known citizens of Terre Haute, now deceased, was born in Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, June 30, 1848, the son of John W. and Elizabeth (Ritter) Arp, both natives of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania and born in 1824 and 1825 respectively. Eleven children were born to them, and while the father died in 1866, the mother survived until 1910. The parents of John W. Arp were Peter and Susan Arp, natives of Pennsylvania, and the great-grandfather of our subject was Henry Arp, who was reared and who died in Pensylvania, having lived at the time of the Revolution in which great struggle he fought gallantly for the independence of the Colonies. William C. Arp was reared on his father's farm until he was seven years of age, when he moved to Williamsport, Pennsylvania where he attended the public schools and spent one year in a private school for additional instruction. Leaving school at the age of fourteen years, he began working as messenger boy in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at Williamsport, and in 1866 was made machinist apprentice. Long and faithful service in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad brought consequent and deserved promotions, and, in 1896, Mr. Arp came to Terre Haute as superintendent of motor power. In this capacity he conducted himself with exceptional ability which was characterized by foresight and fearlessness, and it was a distinct loss to the company when Air. Arp retired from active service in 1918. He was married, on November 16, 1871, to Mary Virginia Meginness, of Williamsport, Pa., and to this union one child was born, who died in infancy. Mr. Arp was a valued member of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, and his executive ability found appreciation in his appointment to the executive board of Rose Polytechnic Institute. One of the solid citizens of the community was Mr. Arp, and his many friends were always welcome at his fine home at 825 S. Seventh street, Terre Haute, Ind. Mr. Arp passed away on June 16, 1922. Mr. and Mrs. Arp celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on Nov. 16, 1921. Jefferson Davis Askew, who has charge of the wood and iron work of the John Hanley Tent & Awning Company, of Terre Haute, was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, April 15, 1861, the son of William Freeman and Harriet Jane (Moore) Askew, of Raleigh. William Freeman was a dealer in slaves prior to the Civil war, but after the war dealt in mules and cotton. During the war he bought live stock for the southern army, and was a loyal supporter of the cause of the Confederacy. He and his wife had seven sons and two daughters. Mr. Jefferson Davis Askew was educated in the common schools of Raleigh, and in the University of North Carolina, from which he was graduated. At the age of seventeen years, he became a locomotive fireman on the Texas Pacific Railroad, and at twenty-one he was an engineer. He followed railroading as an engineer for about fourteen years, and in 1896 came to Terre Haute. In 1902, he became foreman of the iron and wood working departments of the John Hanley Tent & Awing Company, and has held that position ever since. He understands the machinist, wood work and blacksmith trades thoroughly, and is a very valuable assistant to Mr. Hanley. Mr. Askew married Viola Shewmaker, daughter of William R. Shewmaker, of Terre Haute. Mr. Shewmaker was one of the pioneer citizens of Terre Haute, and served during the Civil war in the Union army. Mr. and Mrs. Askew became the parents of two children, Minnie and Margaret. Mr. Askew married a second time, taking for his wife Miss Emma Hanrahan, and to this union one child has been born, John Donald. Mr. and Mrs. Askew are devout members of the Roman Catholic church, and are deeply interested in its welfare.
