Samuel Hutchings Price, M.D., of Montvale, Bedford County, is one of the veteran and honored representatives of the medical profession in his native county and is a citizen of prominence and influence. At Montvale he is president of the Bedford County Bank, and he is also a director of the Citizens National Bank of Bedford, the county seat.
Dr. Price was born at the home of his great-uncle, Dr. Jack Claytor, an old-time physician and surgeon in Bedford County, and the date of his nativity was January 25, 1852. The Doctor is a son of the late Hutchings B. and Fanny J. (Rice) Price, and is a posthumous child, as his father died November 25, 1851. Hutchings B. Price was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and later became a prosperous farmer in Pittsylvania County, where he also served as county sheriff. He was captain in a regiment of Virginia troops in the Mexican war. He was a nephew of General Sterling Price, who was a distinguished officer in the Confederate service in the Civil war and who also served as governor of Missouri, he having been but forty-eight years old at the time of his death. The mother of Dr. Price was a daughter of Rev. Samuel D. Rice, D. D., a distinguished clergyman of the Presbyterian Church. Her maternal grandfather, Rev. James Mitchell, was a pioneer clergyman of the Presbyterian Church in Bedford County, where he was affectionately known as Father Mitchell and where he died at the patriarchal age of ninety-four years. His father, Robin Mitchell, came from Pennsylvania to Virginia in 1752 and became a pioneer settler in Bedford County, where he secured a tract of land at the confluence of the Little and Big Otter rivers. Rev. James Mitchell was for two months in active service as a patriot soldier in the war of the Revolution, and he was ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church on the day of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Mrs. Fannie (Rice) Price was born September 25, 1825, and her death occurred February 10, 1910. After the death of Captain Price, her youthful husband, she became eventually the wife of Alonzo Cocke, a farmer in Campbell County. Mr. Cocke went forth as a soldier of the Confederacy in the Civil war, was wounded in battle, was taken to a Union hospital at Nashville, Tennessee, and there he died, the place of his burial being unknown to his family. Dr. Price of this sketch is the only child of his mother's first marriage, and of the five children of her second union two lived to adult age. Rev. A. R. Cocke, D. D., became pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Waynesboro, Virginia, but his death occurred in a hospital in the City of Chicago, he having received on the same day the degree of Doctor of Divinity from both Washington and Lee University and the University of Texas. His sister, Rosalie, is now a popular teacher at Chase City, Virginia.
Dr. Samuel H. Price was reared on the farm of his maternal grandfather near Mount Zion, Campbell County, until he was eighteen years of age, and in the meanwhile he received at Mount Zion effective educational discipline under the tutorship of Dr. Walthall and Captain William A. Mason. He was thereafter employed in a general store at that place, and later was similarly engaged four years at Bedford Springs. He used his earnings in advancing his education. In 1874-5 he was a student in the medical department of the University of Virginia, and in 1876 he entered the celebrated Bellevue Hospital Medical College in the City of New York. After receiving from this institution his degree of Doctor of Medicine he established an office in the village of Liberty, which is now the fine little City of Bedford, Virginia. A few months later he removed to what is now the attractive village of Montvale, and he has since continued his successful service as one of the representative physicians and surgeons of Bedford County. His first public office was that of registrar in Lisbon District, a position which he retained two years. Thereafter he served four years as a member of the County Board of Supervisors, in which he was chairman of the finance committee, and he resigned this office in 1894 to assume that of county treasurer, of which by successive re-elections he continued the incumbent twenty-one years, a statement that indicates the high popular estimate placed upon his administration of the fiscal affairs of his native county. The Doctor has been a member of the Presbyterian Church since 1865, has served as an elder in the same and also as Sunday School superintendent, besides which he was for a long term of years teacher of the Bible Class and was clerk of sessions for the church for thirty years. He is a past master of Montvale lodge, A. F. and A. M.
In 1878 Dr. Price wedded Miss Fannie Ross Harris, daughter of W. E. Harris, of Campbell County, and her death occurred in 1898. Of the four children of this union the eldest is Dr. William H., who is a successful physician and surgeon at Chatteroy, West Virginia; Mary P. is the widow of Dr. Walter S. Slicer, of Roanoke, Virginia; Dr. Samuel D. was engaged in the practice of medicine for the Pocahontas Collieries Company at Switchback, West Virginia, until attacked with typhoid fever and was carried to Bluefield, West Virginia, and died there; and Dr. Howard E. is engaged in the practice of dentistry at Altavista, Campbell County, Virginia.
The second marriage of Dr. Price was solemnized May 24, 1899, when Mrs. Lelia D. Ruff, widow of Rev. A. W. Ruff, became his wife. Mr. Ruff was graduated in Washington and Lee University and in the Union Theological Seminary. At the time of his death he was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Mill Gap, Highland County, Virginia. Mrs. Price is a daughter of Rev. D. M. and Sarah Eleanor (Reynolds) Wood, her father being a minister of the Methodist Church who did pioneer work in Kentucky. Mrs. Price is active in church work and charitable service, and has been influential also in Red Cross work.
Dr. Price has been president of the Bedford County Bank from the time of its organization, and in addition to this he is a director of the Citizens National Bank of Bedford and also of the Bank of Big Island. It is interesting to record that his maternal grandfather had a family of fourteen children and that twelve of the number attained to the age of seventy years or older, the grandfather himself having died at the age of ninety-four years and his wife at the age of ninety-six.
