Surname: Price
-------------------------
Mr. Zachariah Price died August 4, 1887 at his residence in this township
(Campbell) of general debility, aged 91 years. Mr. Price was one of the
oldest citizens of this township. He was a native of Shelby County, Kentucky,
but had resided in this township more than 50 years.
He was a volunteer soldier of the War of 1812; was present at the burning
of King's Mountain in Canada, and was engaged in other active service during
that war. He received an honorable discharge and was a pensioner for several
years before his death.
During his long life he was always noted for his honesty and hospitality
and genuine loyalty to the laws of his country; and although for several
years he had been unable to engage in active business on account of old
age, yet all his neighbors remember his many acts of kindness and he leaves
a very large circle of friends and relatives who sincerely mourn his loss.
