PRICE was born near Wilmington, Del., April 14, 1838, and is the second in a family of eight children born to David M. and Jane (Tweed) Price. David M. is also a native of Delaware; in early life he served an apprenticeship of five years at blacksmithing, which, together, with carriage and wagon-making, he followed for forty years near Wilmington, where he yet resides on his farm, retired from active business life. Mrs. Jane Price was also a native of Delaware, of Scotch descent, and departed this life in September, 1862, a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church. James F., at the age of fifteen, after receiving a good common school education, commenced to learn the wagon and carriage-maker's trade, which he continued until he attained his majority. He then went to west Pennsylvania, where for eighteen months he engaged in the oil business on Oil Creek, meeting with remarkable success; he then moved to West Virginia, and engaged in the oil trade on the Little Kanawha, where he suffered severe financial reverses; in 1865 he engaged in the oil business in Breckinridge and Barren Counties, Ky., sinking one well in the latter county. These proving to be bad speculations he came to Glasgow in the fall of the same year, where he engaged in the manufacture of wagons and wagon materials, and also in the saw-mill and lumber business. After about five years he discontinued the wagon business, and engaged in railroad contracting in connection with the saw-mill and lumber busines; in 1873 he engaged in distilling, and in the wholesale and retail liquor trade, when he continued two years; he then opened a livery, feed and sale stable at Glasgow; he keeps from twenty to twenty-five horses in his stable constantly, and his stock is of the best; he also has a stock farm near town and is quite extensively engaged in breeding fine horses; he owns three fine blooded stallions, one of which, "Montrose," is one of the finest saddle stallions in the State. For five years Mr. Price was marshal of Glasgow, and is now a member of the town council; he has also been for several years a director and members of the Barren County Agricultural Society, of which he is now president. In March, 1877, Mr. Price returned to Delaware, and married Emily McDanel, a daughter of Springer McDanel, one of the old and prominent citizens of Stanton, Del., where Mrs. Price was born in November, 1845.
