The Belding Banner, Thursday, February 2, 1956


Affectionately known as “Grandma Price,” Mrs. Georgianna Price, 92 years of 
age, passed away Wednesday, February 1, just before noon at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Homer Olger, 721 N. Lafayette street in Greenville.  She had 
made her home there for several years.  Although Mrs. Price had been in failing 
health for a long period of time, she was up and dressed each day, including 
the morning before her death.

She was born in Marshall, November 12, 1863, the daughter of Fayette and 
Minerva Beardsley.  On January 12, 1882 she was united in marriage to Will 
Price in Edmore.  he preceded her in death October 25, 1924.  A former Belding 
resident, she had resided in this area for the past 62 years.  

Mrs. Price will be remembered for her book entitled “Memories That Linger On” 
written prior to 1952 and dedicated to her children.  This gives an 
autobiography of her life and much of the history of Michigan as she remembered 
it.  It is illustrated throughout by many of her own drawings.  The book, 
written a little bit at a time, an hour each night, by very bright light, 
before her failing eyesight left her unable to see to do the work, shows the 
determination of the deceased.  Each member of her family has a copy of the 
book and there are copies available for the general public to view at the Alvah 
N. Belding Library.  She was also known as Belding’s “Grandma Moses,” and had 
at one time several of her painting s on display at the local library.

Survivors include her daughter, Mrs. Homer (Hazel) Olger of Greenville; two 
sons, Dr. Earl Price and Dr. W. Ray Price of this city; seven grandchildren and 
nine great grandchildren.  

Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:00 from the Fitzjohn 
Funeral Home with Rev. H. S. Ellis officiating.  Burial will be in River Ridge 
cemetery.
