Elizabeth Johnson Price was the daughter of Lindsay Price (born 1818, Wayne, Kentucky; died February 20, 1879, at Montrose, Lee County, Iowa) and Amanda Johnson (born 1821, no other information about her could be located). Lindsay Price enlisted in Company C, 3rd Regiment of the Iowa Cavalry Volunteers, at Keokuk, Iowa, on August 29, 1861, for 3 years; he is described as 45 years old, 5' 9-1/2" high, dark complexion, hazel eyes "and by profession a Grocery keeper." He is listed in Roster and Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion. Vol. IV. 1st-9th Regiments--Calvary and Two Independent Companies--Calvary. Des Moines, Iowa: Emory H. English, State Printer, 1910, page 574, Company "C" Third Calvary, as follows:

In a DECLARATION OF A WIDOW FOR PENSION OR FOR INCREASE OF A PENSION dated June 26, 1880, Mary J. Price attested that "his name sometimes appears upon the rolls as Lindsay P. Price by mistake, he had no middle name." His death was reported in the Keokuk Constitution, Friday, February 21, 1879, page 4, column 3, as follows:
Death of a Pioneer
Mr. Lindsay Price, one of the pioneers of this section of Iowa, died at 12 0'clock last night at Montrose. He was the brother of William Price in honor of whom Price's Creek in this county was named. He came to Keokuk on where Keokuk now stands when he was 8 years old of age, and died at the age of 61 years.
He was well known by many of our old citizens.
Another report from the City Gate, Tuesday, February 25, 1879 (Microfilm 522DP):
Lindsey Pierce [sic], an old settler, was buried here last Saturday, aged 62. He served faithfully in the Iowa Cavalry during the war.
Nathaniel B. Childs married Elizabeth Johnson Price December 31, 1871, at Clay Grove, Lee County, Iowa; birth date confirmed by Census and family records, date of his death is from family records as April 8, 1913, but could have been in 1912. An effort is underway to resolve this discrepancy.
According to the 1870 U.S. Census, Nathaniel and mother Susan (age 59) were living in Cedar Township, Lee County, Iowa, as members of the household of his brother Thomas Henry Childs, age 40, his wife Anna Maria Billingsley Childs, age 35, and their children Mary, age 10; Howard age 5; and Eva, age 1.
The 1880 U.S. Census, conducted July 1, 1880, at the city of Creston, Union County, Iowa, enumerated Nathaniel, his wife Elizabeth, and children Mildred Earl Childs, Iola A. Childs, and Ora Ella (also called Ella, Dot, or Dorothy) Childs.
The John Ervin Barker family was enumerated in the 1900 U.S. Census, living in Ponca, Dixon County, Nebraska. The household included Elizabeth Price Johnson Childs, mother of John's wife Mildred.
According to the 1920 U.S. Census, Elizabeth Johnson Price Childs was a member of the Otto Peters household, he listed as age 48, which included wife Mildred Peters, age 45, and daughter Iris Ethelyn Peters, age 12, living at 120 E. Emerson Road, Valleyford Township, Spokane County, Washington, on January21, 1920.
Under circumstances that are unclear, she apparently rented a room or quarters from the Daniel C. Wadhams family in 1930. The 1930 U.S. Census, enumerated April 24-25, 1930, at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, describes her as a mother-in-law, age 80, but there is no evidence of any formal association with the Wadhams family, consisting of wife Goldie M. Wadhams, 39 and Bruce D. Wadhams, age 17. At some point she relocated to St. Louis, Missouri.
After her death January 1, 1934, at St. Louis, Missouri, she was cremated at St. Louis, Missouri. Her ashes were buried in Childs family plot in Valleyford Cemetery, Spokane, Washington, December 19, 1937, by her nephew, Nathaniel Ervin Barker, then a resident of Lansing, Illinois. Valleyford Cemetery (also known as Cottonwood Cemetery) has since been renamed Wood Memorial Cemetery; her grave is not marked.
