Isaac Price, Whose Death Occurred Sunday Near Barnard. The Oldest Man Here. He Had Lived on the Same Farm for the Past 45 Years—Funeral Services Tomorrow.
Isaac Price, who was 101 years old last May, died Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after a few days illness of la grippe at the home of his son, John Price, living near Barnard.
The funeral services will be held at the home of John Price tomorrow at 1 o'clock to be conducted by Rev. Sauceman of Skidmore.
Mr. Price was the oldest person in the county and had lived on the farm near Barnard for forty-five years. He was born May 22, 1814, on Middle Island, Jughandle Mills, near Middlebourne, Tyler county, West Va. He was descended from Welsh parentage of New Jersey stock, who were long-lived people. At 3 years of age, with his parents, he moved to Maryetta, Washington county, O., where he spent his childhood and when he was 17 years old, he moved to Fallston, on Big Beaver river, near Pittsburg, Pa., where as a helper in a shop, he learned the blacksmith trade, which occupation he followed until the spring of 1871, when he retired from active business life. At Fallston he was married to Miss Prudence Gordon, to whom were born four children, none of whom are living. Western Pennsylvania and Ohio were not then not much more than a wilderness. The mode of travel was by slow stages on foot, on horseback, by wagon, over the trails and unkept roads, or by water on the river. After fifteen years he returned to his childhood home in Maryetta, O., where he resided about ten years, working at his trade.
At 42 years of age he moved to Owen county, about fifty miles from Indianapolis, Ind., where his first wife having died, he was married to Miss Mary Ann Linn, to which union were born eight children. In this place he resided about fifteen years, when, with his family, he moved to the farm home in Nodaway county and resided for the last number of years with his son, John Price, the oldest child of his second wife, and the only survivor of the family of twelve children. Mrs. Price died April 11, 1904.
Mr. Price identified himself with the Democratic party in young manhood and cast his first ballot for Andrew Jackson in his second campaign for an election to the presidency. Although he had cast his ballot for each Democratic candidate from Jackson to the present administration, he had never seen a president.
