While she has gone from scenes,
the conflicts, the sorrows and plea
sures of life, she will still live in
the hearts of those who knew her
best. Her retiring nature led her to
hide her best qualities from public
gaze, but they were revealed to
those who enjoyed her acquaintance.
Yet it was in her home that her true
worth was most CONSPICUOUS. She
was kind, loving wife and daugh-
ter, and her devotion to the family
circles had no limit. ~
Georgia L. Bovee was born Sept.
20, 1855, at Burr Oak, Iowa, where
she grew to womanhood and received
her education in the Burr Oak
school. She was married to George
M. Price at Burr Oak April IL, 1901,
