Hi, I'm sending the obituary of David J. Price, my husband's great uncle. In the article about his 78th birthday, mention of a full sized portrait was made. Does anyone know if the portrait is still in existence? Thank you. Donna Price Three brothers, Edward Price, J. W. Price and Evan Price, had passed on before; also two sisters, Mrs. Grace H. Jones and Mrs. Kate P. Vye. Beside the sister above named there are several nephews and nieces. Among those present from a distance were the following relatives: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vye of Wheaton; Mr. and Mrs. Jay Price of Milbank, S. D.,; Mrs. J. Martin and daughter; Mrs. Catharine Prindle and Mrs. C. V. McDougal, all of Minneapolis. The funeral was largly attended and included friends from a distance. Biographies: David J. Price was born at Dodgeville, Wis., August 5, 1855. His parents were John and Katherine Price, natives of Wales, in Great Britain. When he was thirteen years of age, the family came to this state, and took up their residence about three miles northwest of New London, just north of where Lloyd Jones now lives. As far as records show, this was the only Welsh family among the early pioneers of Kandiyohi county.) While their residence was at that place, Mr. Price's father died, and about the year 1876 the family moved to the home a short distance north of New London which continued to be the home of Mr. Price until his death. The mother died in 1898 at the age of 86 years. Mr. Price was a public spirited, highly respected man. He always took a deep interest in the questions of the day and for thirty-three years he served his township as clerk. He was a man of culture, well read. The best literature, both in magazines and books were always at hand, and no man in the county did more reading than he did. He was justly regarded as one of the county's best citizens, and while he had reached a good old age, still his passing is regarded as a distinct loss to the community. 78TH Birthday Was Observed By The Community A year ago last Sunday the people of the north part of the county gave an appreciative social in honor of the late Mr. Price's 78th birthday. A life-size portrait was unveiled in the Burbank Town Hall where the gathering was held. There was a large attendance, and a number of talks were made by old friends and neighbors expressing the feelings of respect and appreciation in which Mr. Price was held. To these Mr. Price responded. Musical numbers were interspersed and refreshments were served. An extended report of this gathering was published in theDaily Tribune on August 7, following. The writer remembers with gratitude the visits from David J. price at the early printng office at New London when kindly and patiently he presented his views of public affairs to the kid editor, and we feel that we owe much tothe inspiration he gave up along the lines of progressive ideas. He was a thorough progressive in his convictions, not used great discrimination in choosing leadership. May his memory live among us. Aug. 7, 1934 WILLMAR TRIBUNE, AUGUST 8, 1934
