This history is by his daughter, Edith Price Steadman See Testimony of Emma Brown Price for genealogy.

Edmund, son of Thomas Price and Mary Parry was born August 8, 1854 in Racer, Monmouth, Wales. He was baptized on 23 July 1864, by David E. Jones and confirmed 24 July 1864, by James Glover in Branch Victoria, Monmouthshire Conference. Ordained an elder by Thomas Werrett 3 February 1878, at West Jordan, Utah. Ordained a Seventy by William H. Freeman 20 March 1887, in the West Jordan Ward. Ordained a High Priest in 1910 in West Jordan. Edmund came to America in 1871. After living in Ohio two years, he came to Utah in 1873.

He served a mission to South Wales from May 1896 to 1898, leaving a wife and six children at home. Before leaving, Edmund had a blessing and in that was told he would meet a minister who would try to confuse him on his religion, but father should say open your Bible, shut it up, open it again, shut it up and open the third time and then tell the minister to read. He'd say, "You read it to me." Father was to say you read it for yourself then you will know for yourself then you will know for yourself that it is in your Bible."

Father had never attended school and couldn't read or write, except what he had picked up himself. He'd been in the mission field about 11 months when one Sunday morning he had this experience. Wales is quite a hilly country and it was raining and father saw a man coming toward him. He knew that he was about to experience what had been told him previously. His knees began to shake as he recognized the minister, but he stopped and said "Good morning." They exchanged greetings and father said to him, "I see you are a minister of the gospel." The man said "Yes, and what are you?" Father told him he was also a minister and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ.

They questioned each other on different principles and father told him he taught the same gospel as Jesus Christ did and belonged to a Church that followed along the same line of having apostles, prophets, etc. The minister did not believe him and this is when he told him to open his Bible three times and read the scripture. I've forgotten what the scripture was now, but after he read it he said to father, "Well, don't let this be known to a lot of people, you're doing a wonderful job, but don't tell people you talked to me, but you surely do know your Bible." The minister left and dad walked off as light as a feather.

The children were all ill at home when father left, having chicken pox and measles at the same time. I and Roy lay in the same bad for three days afterward very ill. Ruth was the worst and kept in a dark room for a long time with a very high fever. She lost all her fingers and toe nails and her hair all came out.

Mother and all of us worked hard while father was on a mission, and we had many experiences. The uncles and ward members would help on the farm during haying time a we had a farm and there was much to do. Mother bought a little jersey cow for $30 so we would have milk and cream to make butter. Uncle Will Brown and Uncle Will Leak thought she had paid too much for it and said that 30 greenbacks would cover the cow. She was a good milker and gave our family much cream while father was gone.

Father would copy words from letters he had received in answering my mother. This way he learned to read and write even better. He also visited cemeteries and copied down in a notebook information on the headstones of his and mother's family that could later be used in doing genealogy work. Edmund worked at the Midvale Smelter where he became leaded and had to quit.

The children born to them are:

Ruth Elizabeth Charles William

Myrtle Jeanette Havelock

Edmund had diabetes and craved sugar so much that he would go in the pantry and get sugar to add to whatever he was eating. He had this eight years before his death, January 25, 1915. He is buried in Whites Fort Cemetery, West Jordan, Utah.
