He professed religion and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Concord church about 50 years ago. He was a member at Providence when he died, where his funeral was preached to a large concourse of his old neighbors and friends. "Let me die the death right and my last end like him." The Price family was a prominent factor in moulding the industrial, political, educational and religious opinions in the early settlement of Pike Co. Judge Milas Price, a son of John & Annie Price moved in an early day into Montgomery county, and was one of the most honorable and valuable citizens of that county. He died about a year ago. The other boys lived and died in the Buffalo neighborhood and were most valuable citizens. All of them raised large families and families well respected. E. P. Pearson

12/27/1906 
James Thomas Price on December 25 1905 at the home of his son-in-law John Thurmond, near Bowling Green; J. T. Price closed his eyes to all earthly scenes and passed over to God's beautiful beyond. He was not sick, but frail and feeble from the weight of 88 years. He sought his couch as a tired child lies down to pleasant and sleeps that knows no awaking. While bright and cheerful he was piously inclined, living at peace with all mankind. He had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian church for a number of years and was beloved by a large number of sorrowing friends. His faithful wife preceded him to the grave many years ago while 10 children survive him, 3 daughters and 7 sons. J. H. Price of this vicinity being the oldest child. Funeral services were conducted Wed. at the home after which the remains were interred in the Smith burying ground. Peace to his ashes. (Clarksville Piker).
