William Price died at his home in Sugar Creek Twp, Tuesday evening at the age of 63. William Price was the only son of George and Malinda Price, who came to this county in an early day. William was brought up to work and on the day of his death had the reputation of being the hardest worker in the township, frequently doing the work of two good hands. When the country called for volunteer in 1861 he was among the first to respond, and entered the 40th Indiana as a private in Co K and was accreddited to Thorntown, Ind. He served with distinction and was promoted in the company from time to time until on June 25, 1865 he was discharged as 1st Lt of his company. He was a pension at the rate of $17 per month and we have seen him suffer untold agaony at times from the effects of his army life, but his indomitable will would not let him give up until he died possessed of some 200 acres of as good land as the township can boast. Soon after coming home from the army he was married to Anna Boots, oldest daughter of Asa Boots. To them were born two children, a son and daughter, when death entered the family circle and mother and children were soon taken and he was again alone. After some two years he married Josephine Brooks, to them was born a daughter, who with her mother are left to mourn. Several years ago he joined the Dunkard Church known as White Church since which time he has lived a consistent Chritian and been a worthy member of the church of his choice. He was a kind father, a good neighbor, a loving husband, a patriotic and loyal citizen and the township loses one of her best citizens. The funeral was conducted at the White Church, Rev. Charles Campbell officiating. A large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbors followed the remains to the Peterson Cemetery where he was laid to rest beside his loved ones gone before. - kbz
