DR. B. H. PRICE was born September 14, 1853, in what is now Webster County, Ky. He is a son of James and Martha (Sprague) Price both of whom were natives of Union County, Ky. The father died in 1855, aged thirty-eight years, and the mother in 1854, aged thirty-six years. Dr. Price was reared by his grandfather, Erven Price, until he was twelve years old, after which he remained with his guardian until the age of eighteen. He then went to Texas, where he remained some eighteen months. On his return he entered a school at Clay, taught by Prof. W. P. Hanner, where he remained two years, acquiring a good literary education. He then commenced the study of medicine, under the preceptorship of Dr. Jeff Holman, of that place; after one year he attended the Louisville Medical College during the session of 1879-80. He then returned to Clay, where he has since been actively and successfully engaged in the practice of his profession. He was married, October 7, 1881, to Miss Grace Watson, a native of Webster County, Ky. One bright daughter gladdens their home.
