Jefferson Price, who has been afflicted several years with consumption, died last Thursday and was buried at Beech Grove Saturday. Mr. Price was about 38 years of age and leaves three little children lonely, as their mother died last August of same disease.
Daisy Spicer was the organist at the funeral of Jefferson Price at Beech Grove last Saturday.
The funeral sermon of Jefferson Price was preached by Rev. Hammons of the Christian church. It was a strong and sympathetic address and will bear good results to the relatives and many friends of the good man who has been laid to rest.
