{Not confirmed} - It has been said that one day, Lorenza Roberts Sr., the grandson of Liza "Eliza" Roberts, was visiting with his Aunt Anna and her family. He saw a potential in John, which prompted him to take over his care.

A quote from Sarah Frances Trotty Johnson – John Wiley Price granddaughter:
"They had renters that lived on the land. The place where they lived was so far from everything that our Grandmother Sarah did not like the location.
Grandfather John Wiley assured her that although they were a long way away from everything the city would one day come to the country.
In a way his prediction came true in the form of electricity, indoor plumbing, etc., such things were hard to think about in the 20's and 30' even up to the 50's."
"I remember when the rural people received electricity it was in the 50's I don't know what year. We visited our grandmother at Uncle Pay's house and they were still using kerosene lamps. Our grandmother died in the early mid-50's."
Childhood memories were shared with eight siblings: Joanna Roberts Price, Susan Roberts, Martha Roberts Price, Henry Roberts, Anna Roberts Cook, Celia Roberts Reed, Oliver James Roberts and Mays Jerrymays Price.

He laid in the front room on a table that had ice placed underneath. Since John's death was never legally recorded with the county, there is not a Certificate of Death on file.
