DR. HENRY PRICE

  Dr. Price was a non-graduate physician born near Five Forks, his father being 
a minister in the German Baptist denomination (Old Order of Dunkards).

  Dr. Price first began the practice of medicine at St. Thomas and while here 
married Mary Ann Grossman of the vicinity of Marion.  He then located about one 
mile north of Marion, living in the stone house that stands a short distance 
west of the White Church.

  Dr. Price practiced medicine in this neighborhood for some years, and then 
removed, about 1860, to New Franklin and was the first physician to locate in 
this village.  He lived and had his office in the brick house that stands at the 
cross-roads in the northern end of the village.  This was owned and occupied by 
Mr. Joshua Kennedy, now deceased.

  In 1864 Dr. Price removed to Indiana and died in that state some years later.
