the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gib-

dren; 23 great grandchildren, and
seven great-great grandchildren.
One member of her family said
that Mrs. Price’s current goal in
life is to attain the age of 100
years.
Her philosophy in life is, a friend
said, “live as close to nature as
possible and always remember
that the Creator is man’s best
friend, also, everyone should keep
busy as work doesn’t hurt any-
one."_______
Even at the age of 95, Mrs.
Price still pieces quilts and em-
broideries as a pastime. She en-
joys that type of work and be-
lieves that no one should be idle.
Mrs. Price is a member of Mid-
way Church of Christ in Bonham
and when her health permits she
attends services. . She explained
that this church is the only one
she knows of in Fannin county
that is truly like the church in her
early years, the non-Sunday
school Church of Christ. She en-
joys visiting her children and
grandchildren, some of whom live
out of the community.
Mrs. Price has been a resident
of Fannin county almost 60 years,
most of which have been spent in
and around Ravenna.
