ISAAC PRICE, minister and farmer; P. O. Pleasant Hill; born in Mifflin Co., Penn., in 1836; is the son of Isaac and Elizabeth Price, of Pennsylvania, the former of Mifflin, and the latter of Juniata Co.; Isaac P., Sr., passed his entire life, a period of seventy-three years, in the same house. The subject of this sketch was brought up on a farm, and thus, from boyhood, acquired a knowledge of farming, which he has followed through life, and with eminent success, as the fact that he now possesses a large, fine farm, under the best of improvements, bears ample testimony; his early education was limited to the common school; in the spring of 1861, he immigrated to this State and located in Newton Township; he soon engaged himself to Mr. Fox as a farm laborer; in the following fall, he purchased of Mr. Fox 73 ¾ acres of land, a part of the tract which he now owns; he has added to this 100 acres, by his industry and good management. Mr. Price is a minister in the German Baptist Church, whose official duties he has discharged for nine years, with fidelity to his church and commendable zeal in the cause of Christianity; Mr. Price is a good worker in the cause of religion, using his talent to good account for the Master’s service; personally, he is a gentleman, honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellow-man. He was married in January, 1862, to Mary J. Fox, a native of Montgomery Co.; she is the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Fox, the former a native of Maryland, whence he emigrated to this State; he and wife still survive, and live near Covington. They have three daughters and two sons.
