The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have been visiting Lexington, Louisville and Middlesboro, the Duke having interests at the latter place. The Duchess is the daughter of Commodore Cicero Price, of the U. S. navy, who died in New York several years ago. Commodore Price was born and raised near Lancaster, in Garrard county, Ky.; was a graduate of the Naval Academy and spent his life in the services of his country. He died at an advanced age, honored and respected by all who knew him. He was the son of William Price, whose family consisted of Cicero, Jennings, Absolom, Napoleon, Johnson and Emily. The latter married Benjamin F. Graham, a lawyer, who was appointed quarter master by President Polk and was killed at Cerabro, near Monterey, in Mexico, by Urrea's cavalry, about the time of the battle of Buena Vista. He was assisting in defending the train and fell while exposing himself to the fire of the enemy. Dr. Johnson Price, one of the brothers of Commodore Price, commanded Co. A from Garrard county in Col. Humphrey Marshall's regiment of Kentucky cavalry and was conspicuous for his gallantry at the battle of Buena Vista. Upon his return to Kentucky he was elected a delegate to the convention that framed the present constitution, but after serving for some time, he left for California without signing the instrument upon its adoption. He filled positions of honor in the West and died some years since in California. Absalom removed to Lexington, Ky., acquired a fortune and has been dead several years. Napoleon resided at the old homestead in Garrard county until his death some three years since. Dr. Jennings Price is living comfortably at his home in Lancaster at the advanced age of 82 and enjoys the confidence and respect of the entire community. He was a successful practitioner of medicine and was for several years president of the Garrard County Deposit Bank. It will be seen that the Duke and Duchess have a large train of distinguished connection in Central Kentucky, and will no doubt be glad to meet them during their sojourn.

I was just wandering through google looking to see what references were posted these days relating to my recent book, "Lily, Duchess of Marlborough," and came upon your Find a Grave entry. I had not seen most of the newspaper extracts, which, while not always accurate, were certainly interesting.
I can suggest a few additions and corrections that might be made to your entry.
Eliza Warren Price was born in Troy, New York, on 10 June 1854. Her title when she died would have been "Lady William Beresford," as she was titled by marriage and not in her own right.
She died, not in Brighton (although she owned a home in adjoining Hove), but at her home, "Deepdene," in the town of Dorking, Surrey.
Her first husband, Louis Hamersley, was born in 1840.
