He was a good, upright, industrious and progressive man, and left a worthy family. When Gen. McLernand was a candidate for Congress, he told him frankly that he should not vote for him, because he liked his opponent better. His death occurred about 1860.
    Larkin Price came with his brother Gillison, and improved a good farm on the southeast quarter of Section 6. Like his brother, he was a truly good man, and at his death, which occurred in 1859, he left a worthy family, that have, by their upright lives, reflected anew their father's memory."
