We have three Andrew J. Price's in our line. A.J. b. 1818, A.J. b. 1854 and A.J. b. 1891.
A.J. 1854 is the brother of Harrison Zephania Price, b. 1859, my great grandfather.
Patrick Paul Price was born in Texas, exact place unknown. He married Elizabeth "Betty" Haley March 17, 1888 in Van Zant Co., Texas. They had 2 children, Nora Martha Price, born Feb. 13, 1889, and Amos James Price, born August 14, 1890. About 1891, Patrick Paul became ill with consumption. It was thought at the time that the climate around Bandera, Tx. would
bring about a cure so he went to Bandera hoping the climate would cure him. We know he was in Bandera in April, 1892. (We have a copy of a letter he wrote from there) from what Amos was told, Paul (he was called Paul) realized he could not get well and he wanted to die and be buried at home in Van Zandt County. He evidently made it home and is buried at Hiram Cemetery. His grave is near his brother, J. M.
Price. The grave was unmarked for years.The story was told that Betty went with Paul to Bandera. When Paul knew he had to return home, Betty was expecting a baby and couldn't travel. We have no record of Betty getting back to Van Zandt Co. We have checked records in Bandera and could find no record of a birth or death of Elizabeth "Betty" Haley. Amos and Nora were left with their
grand parents, William James & Mary Haley when Paul and Betty went to Bandera. What happened to Betty?
