  Price, John W., was born on March 6, 1860, near Pottsville, Pa. He 
was one year in the Schuylkill Valley Seminary, and graduated from 
Wyoming Seminary in 1889. 
  He was converted in the fall of 1876 in the Primitive Methodist 
Church of Shenandoah, Pa. Shortly after this he assisted in 
establishing a Methodist Episcopal class, of which he was one of the 
original members, in the little town of William Penn, Pa. From this 
charge he received exhorter's license in November, 1883, and local 
preacher's license while in the seminary at Kingston. After supplying 
Harvey's Lake and Maple Grove each one year he united with the 
Conference in 1891, and received deacon's orders at the same session.
  On September 10, 1891, he married Miss L. S. Gordon, of Maple Grove, 
Pa.
  His pastorates have been as follows: 1891-93, Maple Grove; 1894-96, 
Centermoreland; 1897-98, Shavertown; 1899-1901, Mehoopany; 1902-03,
