Price was the son of Washington Price, the largest landowner and slaveholder in Lafayette County, MS, and brother of Armead Price. His occupation was listed as farmer when he enlisted as a private in Co. G of the 11th MS Infantry on August 4, 1862. He was captured on April 2, 1865 at Petersburg, VA and sent to the prison camp at Fort Delaware, DE. He was released on June 11, 1865 after taking the oath of allegiance.
He returned to farming at the family plantation "Oak Grove" in Lafayette County, Mississippi after the war. He died in 1903 and is buried in Oxford Memorial Cemetery in Oxford, MS.
He may have later moved to the David Kennedy house on East Jackson Street in Oxford where he built a wing on the house and lived until he died?
