Mrs. Daisy Price Called By Death
Widow of Former Mayor Succumbs 
to Heart Attack at Her Residence Here

Mrs. Mary Lee Perkins Price, widow of S. B. (Daisy) Price, former mayor of 
Macon, died suddenly about 9 p.m. yesterday at her residence, 225 High 
street. 
Mrs. Price, who was about 82 years old, had suffered from a heart ailment 
for a period of three years, it was learned.  However, she was apparently 
well yesterday afternoon, and her death came as a shock to friends. 
Mr. Price, who died about the turn of the century, was mayor of Macon for a 
decade preceding his death.
After his death, Mrs. Price made her home with her sister, Mrs. Mary Lee 
Perkins Price (sic) who died in July, 1935.
She was born in Bolingbroke, the daughter of Captain Lee Perkins and Mary 
Jane Ponder Perkins.  Mrs. Price received her primary education from private 
tutors and later was graduated from Monroe Female college, now known as 
Bessie Tift.  She was a member of Mulberry Street Methodist church.
Mrs. Price has only one surviving relative in Macon, a cousin, Mrs. Margaret 
Stone Westbrook. 
The body will remain at Burghard-Connally mortuary until completion of 
funeral arrangements.
