Price who died 29 October 1901 of tuberculosis. Dr. Price was just merging into the period of usefulness in his profession when he was called away. The people had just learned to appreciate the noble and sterling qualities of the man which the sad day came. He was a model man in many respects. He bore his intense sufferings with fortitude and died as we trust a Christian death. The writer visited him during his illness and conducted his funeral services, after which he was quietly laid to rest in the Post Oak cemetery to await the resurrection morning when the pure and the good of all ages shall come to that reward which remains for the people of God.

Also, was there a church associated with this cemetery and if so, are records available? Wesley Chapel was not located in a town or city. Located west of the county seat of Jacksboro, Wesley Chapel seems to have been a church, a school and a cemetery; what is called a "community." As you will read below the church was a Methodist Church. I have found records at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas for an early Methodist Chruch. Other might have better ideas for you. Source: Ninety-Four Years in Jack County, 1854-1940, written and compiled by Ida Lasater Huckbay, 1949, p. 366-367: "Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Massengle donate two and half acres to Wesley Chapel Methodist Church in 1885. They were leading Christians in this church with other charter members; Mr. Massengle was a Mason. He was also a Major in the Civil War. Steve Tilghman was a nurse through this war. After moving to Jack County Mr. Tilghman continued practical nursing. Mr. Massengle and wife came by steamboat from Alabama and Mississippi to Galveston, Texas. They arrived in the early seventies with only $30.00. They brought a pony and she rode while he walked to Crockett, Houston County, Texas. They moved in 1880 to Wesley Chapel. They were parents of 16 children; Wooden Massengle was their seventh son. Wesley Chapel was named for John Wesley, the founder of the Roman (sic) Methodist Church. Mr. John Hadley and wife were among the early teachers in this community. Mr. and Mrs. Warren came from England at an early day. Their daughter, Eleanor's sweetheart, N. Oliver, who she left in the old country wa not long in reaching the United States and then to Jack County where they were married. Jessie Leach came by ox-wagon from Louisiana, making the trip in a month. Many others came by similar conveyance in the early seventies; many settled near Ham Springs. The Indians were still depredating on the frontier when those settlers located in Jack County. There pioneers reared large families, a few of which are still living including many grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. John Mathis donated the ground for the cemetery at Wesley Chapel. re their first child and a child of H. B. Messangle were the first persons buried. Rev. Powell, a Methodist minister held early services at Wesley Chapel.Among oministers, who came to assist in the three week meetings under the brush arbor were Brother McCloud of Bryan and Brother Newley. Other settlers were Mr. and Mrs. Ben Martin, A. Lafitey, Lee Cleveland, Charley Pope, William Youngblood, I. Stoddard, William P. Cole, John Murry, Gilbert Kemp, John Fortenberry, John Calhourn, Jack Cox, Jim Neysmith, Marion Godley, Tommie Elsberry, E. McDowell, J. J. Maxwell, J. W. Rains, N. E. Collins, C. M. Snodgrass and William Walker. “That Little Wooden Church on the Hill” [verse omitted] This was a favorite hymn at Wesley Chapel Church, back in the day when the tuning fork was in evidence. Woodson Massengle was the leader of the choir.”
