Since I have been unable to trace backwards I began coming forward. Perhaps
someone will see something that may jog a memory or perhaps wake up a
megabyte. I would sure appreciate any help. Here is everything....notes,
questions, and all!!!!

Price Cemetary Information:
The Price Family Cemetary (for this line of Prices) is located on
Highway 1010, Cleveland School Road. The best directions I have are as
follows:
From Johnson Tech in Smithfield go west on Highway 210 until
the road splits. Bear to the left and go
approximately 2 miles to cross a creek bridge
which will put you on Highway 1010. Proceed toward Cleveland
Middle School (it will be on the right) but do not go beyond
the school. The overgrown cemetary sits right
beside it close to the road but you have to look for it.
A new subdivision called Broadmore is being built around the
site. This cemetary is very old with marked and unmarked graves of Price
Family members.
For some reason, Claude Price was not buried with the rest of
the family
in the cemetary listed above. He is instead buried in a
cemetary off of
Highway 301, across from the American Legion.
This information was given to me by Van L. Coats (son of Euphemia Price). He
also told me that the Coats family was from Onslo and Garner Co., NC.
Well, that's it. I believe I have included everything. Looking forward to
any response.
