George Lincoln Price, a well-known farmer of Maxwell township, Buffalo county, where he is operating 100 acres of land, was born on a farm in Fulton county, Pennsylvania, Nov. 28, 1860, son of James and Margaret (Brown) Price. The father, though a resident of Pennsylvania, was descended from old New England families. His wife, Margaret, was born in Pennsylvania of German parentage. James Price died in 1860, several months before the birth of his son, George Lincoln. The latter remained with his mother until he was 12 years old and after that had to depend on his own resources. He got some schooling in Pennsylvania and at the age of 17 came to Wisconsin, locating at North Branch, Buffalo county, where he was engaged in farming for four years. The next ten or twelve years of his life were spent in the employ of the Mississippi Logging Company, after which he went to work for the Jewell Nursery, getting out pine and cottonwood and other trees in the north woods. In this manner he was occupied for nine years, after which he farmed for awhile in Canton township. Then, about 1884, he located in Maxville township on ten acres of land on which there was no building. To this tract he added until he had 100 acres, also putting up good buildings and making other improvements. He is now doing a profitable farming business, keeping a good grade of stock. A part of his time has been devoted to public interests, as he served one term as assessor and was a member of the school board twelve years - nine years as treasurer and three years as clerk.
Mr. Price was married in 1883 to Lillian Hewitt, daughter of William and Eliza (Gardner) Hewitt, her father being one of the first settlers in Maxville township. Ten children have been born to Mr. And Mrs. Price, all of whom are living, six being married. They are as follows: Pearl, now Mrs. Herman Burlinger, of St Paul, Minnesota; Nellie, wife of Charles Manore, of Durand, Wis.; Eliza, wife of Earl Shoemaker of Glen Forest, Wis.; Sadie, now Mrs. Earl Beatty of Durand; Gussie, wife of Frank Briedermann, of Durand; Paul, who married Hazel Hurlburt of Maxville township, and Hazel, Patrick, James, and Fern, who are residing at home. Mr. Price has also twelve grandchildren.
William Hewitt was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born near Erie in 1815. After his marriage in Pennsylvania, he came to Marquette county, Wisconsin, where he remained for several years. Thence he removed to Lake city, Minnesota, coming from there to Maxville township, Buffalo county, Wis., about 1858, and settling on a farm on 160 acres of government land on Maxville Prairie, being one of the earliest settlers in this region. Here he lived, a prominent and respected citizen, until his death in 1889. His wife Eliza survived his ten years, dying in 1899.
