Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

FRANKLIN REPORTER

DIED,

Mrs. Ellen Price, wife of D. M. Price, and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J. Ridelsbarger, died at her home in this place last Thursday morning after a long and painful illness.

For the past ten years Mrs. Price has been almost a constant sufferer; and from what we know of her case are led to conclude that the intensity of her suffering was beyond the conception of her most intimate friends. There is a vast difference between hearing of one's infirmities and realizing the full measure of them, and unless an individual has personal experience of pain it is difficult to put himself in the place of the other who has. It has been so in this case. For a long time, the magnitude of Mrs. Price's sufferings, was beyond the comprehension of all except her nearest friends.

The unwearied devotion of Mr. Price to his wife, during these long years of affliction, challenges the respect of all. Pleasure, social enjoyment, even business was neglected, that he might, by his attention and presence, soothe and alleviate his distress, and gladden the long weary hours of the invalid's life.

HER LIFE

Mrs. Price was born in Franklin County, Pa., and with her parents came to Franklin Grove, Illinois, in 1846, when only six years of age. She was married in 1862, and immediately thereafter went to her new home near Polo, where with her husband she spent the first five years of her married life. They then removed to Franklin, where they have resided during the past thirteen years. At the time of her death, she was forty years old, and the mother of three children, all old enough to realize the deep loss they has sustained. She was buried at the Dunkard Church, on the Dixon road, on Friday March 26th, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. D. Dierdorff and Rev. J. C. Lahman.

A post mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Price, by Drs. Hewitt & Son, Everett, Brown and Roe, revealed the existence of a large tumor, which caused her death.---- Franklin Reporter.

Biography

Rev. Jacob Preisz was born about 1676 in Schwarzenau, Wittgenstein (now in Nordrhein-Westfalen), Germany,

Additional information about Wittgenstein:

On a relatively detailled map of Germany, find Cologne (Köln) on the Rhine River. Look eastward until you find the city of Siegen, principal town of the Siegerland district. A bit farther east still is the town of Laasphe, now known as Bad Laasphe. North of Bad Laasphe is Bad Berleburg. You have now located the two main towns of Wittgenstein.

Wittgenstein, once an Imperial County ruled by the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein, was always somewhat out-of-the-way. It had no large cities, its agriculture was marginal and there were no raw materials to speak of, only endless stands of beech and oak covering the steep slopes of its hills. The amount of land that could be farmed has always been limited. The valleys which lie between the wooded slopes are not broad, and even today forest covers 60% of Wittgenstein. Villagers combined a little farming, some pasturing and woodcutting and perhaps a trade. Life in Wittgenstein was literally life at the edge of the forest. It was a countryside that could not possibly absorb large increases of population.

The neighboring principality of Nassau-Siegen (today's Siegerland) now forms one administrative district together with Wittgenstein: Kreis Siegen-Wittgenstein. In the 18th century Siegerland had iron mines and forges. Forges need high-quality fuel to smelt the ore, and it was Wittgenstein that provided the fuel in the form of charcoal. There were many charcoal burners' huts in the forests of Wittgenstein, and the charcoal they produced was transported westward, overland to the forges of Siegen (in the 18th century up to 6000 wagon loads per year.) By decree of the Count, some forges were established in Wittgenstein too, including one in the village of Balde where several lines of Dreisbach emigrants to America originated. However, most attempts at implanting industry into Wittgenstein failed.

By the end of the eighteenth century many of the hills were totally denuded. These naked hills could not be farmed, but they could be quarried for slate. Such were the hills around Raumland, where Martin Dreisbach was born. Today slate has lost its economic importance, but many Wittgenstein houses are still sheathed in slate shingles arranged in decorative patterns. Thus Wittgenstein has several traditional types of houses, the half-timbered houses with their white plaster and dark beams, the slate-covered ones and various combinations of the two.

In 1603 the county was divided between two brothers of the house Sayn-Wittgenstein. The seat of the southern half remained at the centuries-old Castle Wittgenstein near Laasphe. The northern half was ruled from Castle Berleburg in the town of that name. In 1801 the Counts were elevated to the rank of Prince. (Today Castle Wittgenstein is a boarding school, and the head of the southern line, Prince Bernhart of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein, lives in a smaller castle in Schwarzenau. Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein, head of the northern line, resides at Castle Berleburg. He is married to Princess Benedikte, sister of the Queen of Denmark.)

At the time when families began to emigrate to North America, Wittgenstein was still a feudal state. Martin Dreisbach of Raumland and his forebears in Balde were subjects of the northern counts. The parents and grandparents of Simon Dreisbach lived in villages ruled by the southern Counts. The Counts had enormous power over the personal and economic circumstances of their subjects. Most villagers did not own sufficient land to earn a living, and therefore they leased extra land for eight-year periods from the Count and/or from the parish. Taxes and revenues were levied not only on the land owned by the villagers, but also on their cattle, poultry and other livestock. They had to pay firewood fees and charges for the Count's messengers, watchmen and threshers. One tenth of their grain, hay, sheep and calves went to the Count. Moreover they had to perform certain services involving hunting for the Count, transporting wood for him and working for set periods on the Count's farms. Taken separately, these obligations to the Count were not excessively burdensome, but when put together they were a crushing weight on the villagers of Wittgenstein, who had to live from their marginal agriculture and auxiliary trades. Even emigration was linked to a fee which had to be paid to obtain official permission to leave.

The Counts of Wittgenstein converted to Protestantism soon after the Reformation in 1535. By the rules set down in the Peace of Westphalia which ended the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), they had the absolute right to choose the religion of their subjects. They chose Calvinism in particular. Since World War II, a larger number of Catholics live in the area. The large majority remain Protestant (Evangelical in German). Today there are about 40 churches or chapels in the area of Wittgenstein; only six are Catholic.

During the 1700s, the Counts gave refuge to some religious minorities. These included Huguenots from France as well as Pietists. The best known of the latter lived at the village of Schwarzenau before moving on. They were the core of the Dunkards, an important sect within the movement of German Brethren.

He died about 1741 in Indian Creek, Lower Salford Twp., Montgomery Co., PA.

Rev. Jacob Preisz was also known as Johann Jacob Preisz.

Note:

The following is taken verbatim from "A Genealogy of The Descendants of Rev. Jacob Price: Evangelist--Pioneer" compiled for The Price Family Association by Geo. F. P. Wanger, The Evangelical Press, Harrisburg, PA, 1926. The book is housed in the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society Library in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Pages 1+: "Rev. Jacob Price (John Jacob Preisz), the founder of a family that has spread all over this nation, with representatives on foreign shores, and has left its imprint for piety and good citizenship in all localities touched, was born in Witgenstein, Prussia, toward the close of the 17th century. He is said to have been the owner of nine acres of land in Germany.

The earliest record I can find of him is in the years 1715-1716 when he, with Johannes Naas, the latter a very large, tall man, were traveling together as evangelists in Germany when they encountered the recruiting officers of the King of Prussia, who, finding Naas just of the stature of the Life Guards, insisted upon his enlisting. He constantly refused, however, although they tortured him to enforce his consent. Being obdurate, they carried him before the King who, eyeing him closely, added: "Why, yes, I would very much like to have you; tell my why you will not enlist in my army?" "Because," said Naas, "I have already enlisted on the rolls of the noblest army, under the very best Captain in the world, and can not prove traitor to him." "Why, to whom then -- or who is your captain?" asked the astonished King. Naas answered, "My Captain is the great Prince Emmanuel, our Lord Jesus Christ; I have espoused his cause and cannot forsake him." "Neither will I then that you should," answered the King, when he dismissed him with a present as a reward for his fidelity. Price, being small in stature and not commanding in appearance, was unmolested.

He evidently united with the Brethren soon after their organization in 1708 and is no doubt one of those whom Alexander Mack says "came with Johann Naas from the North." He continued his labors until persecution became more raging, when with others he fled to Friesland and in 1719 came to Germantown with twenty or more of co-religionists under the leadership of Peter Becker. In Germantown he acquired some land and on June 27, 1720, he purchased 200 acres in Salford township, then Philadelphia, now Montgomery County, from Dirk Jansen (Johnson), a weaver of Germantown, and Margaret his wife; this was part of 500 acres which Jansen purchased from the Commissioner of Property, Aug. 15, 1719, and which was surveyed Feb. 19, 1720.

Upon this tract he built a small log house with one window consisting of a single pane of glass, the roof thatched with straw and gradually improved his property which on Feb. 7, 1741, he conveyed to his oldest grandson, Daniel Price, with all the power vested in himself, not having been naturalized and therefore without citizenship, on condition that he would pay to his brother John a certain sum as detailed hereafter. As to Jacob Price's connection with the Church in Germany, D. M. G. Brumbaugh, in his "History of the Brethren," says: "Heinrich Holsapple, George Balser Gantz, Jeremiah Traut and John Jacob Price are also among the worthies of the early church. Brother Price was an active preacher in Germany, traveling with Johann Naas. They were successful missionaries. Brother Price came to America with Peter Becker's party, was at the first love feast, and, in 1721, settled on a large tract of land in Lower Salford township in Montgomery county, PA. This Jacob Price was the father of all the Prices in the Brotherhood. His family has been a remarkable one, many of them have been and are preachers of ability in the church. Their history is interwoven with the activities of the Brotherhood from its beginning."

At the organization of the first church in America--the Germantown congregation, Christmas day, 1723, Jacob Price was present and quoting again from Dr. Brumbaugh, "To his (Peter Becker) right sat John Jacob Price, who had prayed and preached in the Rhine Valley with Elder Naas. He was not large in body but fervent in spirit. . . The congregation was now organized. The spirit of the Master was upon them. The next autumn the congregation decided to undertake a general visitation to all their brethren in the whole country. Oct. 23, 1724, they started. Their first visit was to Brother John Jacob Price on the Indian Creek." The Brethren living about Indian Creek gradually added to their numbers and Jacob Price is said to have been their first minister and elder, although the exact date of the formal organization of the Indian Creek congregation is unknown.

Nothing is known of the wife of Jacob Price but it is generally supposed she came with him to America and had a prominent part in the care of the two grandchildren left fatherless. One child -- John.

He immigrated in 1719 to Germantown (now Philadelphia), PA.

Note: Jacob Preisz purchased 200 acres of land in what is now Salford Twp., Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
