WILLIAM S. PRICE.—Mr. Price is a native of Maryland, and a wagon-maker by trade.
His political record dates from the year 1865, when at the union convention he
received the nomination for county treasurer. His political opponents were R. S.
Flournoy, a democrat, and Oscar D. Peck, a union bolter, both of whom he
defeated. He served only one term—two years—and was succeeded by James C.
Gentry. He belongs to that class of southern men who were known as union men. He
depended largely upon his assistants to do his figuring and balancing up; but
his integrity was never questioned, and he left a good record as an honest and
faithful official. Price is now 68 years old, and is engaged in business in
Taylorville.
