Price died at the home of her mother four miles west of Remington ore Tuesday evening, June 19, 1900. She was the daughter of the late W. B. Price and the family has resided in this county since 1867. Miss Price was born in Solon, Ohio, December 15, 1853. She graduated at the Ohio WesleyanUniversity at Delaware, Ohio, in 1876 with the honors of her class and since that time ha» been continuously engaged in school work. She taught in the Goodland and Rensselaer schools and in a number of the district schools of this county. For the past seventeen years she has been engaged as Principal of the normal department in the Alabama State Normal Collegeat Montgomery, where she was next in authority to the President of the University. For a number of years her duties and responsibilities have been far reaching but she gave her life to her work with a zeal and earnestness entirely out of proportion to her strength. Miss Price was a woman of fine literary attainments and passionately fond or books. The race for whom the best efforts of her life were given have for years been the recipients of her deeds of kindness and acts of charity, and in contemplating the good accomplished -he found her chief delight. Miss Price left her post of duty only the week before her death, worn and broken in health, but bfnve and gentle in spirit, and joined her people at the old home with the hand of death already upon her. She was a great student .of nature and in every bird, leaf and flower she saw the handiwork of God and the gentleness of love. She united with the M . E. church in Remington when a girl and has ever since interested herself in church work, though in the later years of her life, the practical side of Christianity has appealed to her most strongly, the one rule of her pure life was to judge people by work performed and good accomplished. Sue leaves an aged and sorrowing mother, one sister and five devoted brothers to mourn the loss of a loving, sympathetic sister, her father and brother Will having preceeded her to the spirit world a few years ago. Funeral services were held at the home Friday morning, June 22. at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mathews, pastor of the M. E. church, and were very largely attended. Interment was made at the Remington cemetery beside the father.
