Death Of Hon. Andrew Price.

In the death of Hon. Andrew
Price the State mourns one of its
most highly honored and best be-
loved men. Though he had been
an invalid for a number of years,
his illness became suddenly SER
ious and his death, which occurred
at his home on Acadia plantation,
Lafourche parish, on Friday, Feb.
9Th, came as a shock to the entire
State. The funeral services were
held at his Acadia home, after
which his remains were taken to
Nashville, Tenn, for interment in
the family burial ground.
Mr.. Price was born on Chats
worth plantation, this parish,
where he spent his boyhood days.
At the age of twelve years he en-
tered the Cumberland University
at Lebanon, Tenn, where he
graduated in law in 1915. He
completed his course OF Washing
ton University, st. Louis, where
he remained and practiced his
profession until 1880, when he
went to Lafourche to manage the
Acadia plantation, in which he
had half interest. In 1879 he was
married to Miss Annie Gay,
youngest daughter Of Hon. Ed
ward J. Gay. In 1889 he succeed
ed Mr.. Gay in Congress and was
elected to the fifty-second, fifty
third and fifty-fourth Congress.
He also served as a member at
large to the Constitutional Con-
ventien of 1898. The only i'm
mediate memb ers of his family
who survive him are his wife, two
brothers, Col. ". II. Price and
Mr.. John H. Price, to whom the
BANNER extends it's coincidence in
their bereavement.
