  WILLIAM M. PRICE, A. M., M. D., son of James B. and Frances (Mason) Price,
natives of Tennessee and Virginia, and of Scotch-Irish and English extraction,
respectively, was born near Florence, June 3, 1837.

  The senior Mr. Price who was a farmer during his lifetime, was one of the
early settlers of Lauderdale County, married here, reared his family of four
sons and two daughters, and here died in 1883, at the age of 78 years.

  William M. Price took his Baccalaureate at the Florence Wesleyan University,
class of 1857, and received the degree of M. A. from that institution in 1860.
As Doctor of Medicine he graduated from the University of Nashville in 1865, and
began the practice at Bayley Springs, Lauderdale County, immediately after
leaving college, and was there until his coming to Florence in 1870. He entered
the army, in 1862, as a private and served one year, most of the time on detail
in the surgeon's office. It was probably while in this department that he
conceived the idea of, and determined upon, the profession of medicine.

  Dr. Price was married at Corinth. Miss., in 1858, to Miss Martha J. Fort. She
died in 1863, leaving one son, now Dr. Percy I. Price, at Florence. The Doctor's
second marriage occurred in Manry County, Tenn., September 12, 1865, when he led
to the altar Miss Nannie Henderson. To this marriage are eight children born.

  Dr. Price probably stands at the head of the medical profession in Lauderdale
County. He is a member of the State Medical Society, president of the Lauderdale
Medical Society, chairman of the County Board of Censors, a Knight of Honor, and
a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
