Anna Price was born 22 April 1877 in Samaria, Idaho, to Daniel Evan Price and Mary Mair Jenkins. She was the second child of thirteen born to them. There were only four children that grew to maturity, namely Anna, May, Sarah, Esther.
She had dark brown hair and blue eyes. She was not too tall. She attended school in Samaria and they lived just across the street from the schoolhouse. Mother was always a great help to her parents. She also worked for others, doing washing, ironing and cleaning.
She had a strong testimony of the gospel and always attended her meetings and sang in the ward choir.
On 30 March 1898 she married Owen Thomas Davis in the Logan L.D.S Temple. He left two weeks later for a mission in West Virginia, serving there for 27 months. While he was away from home she lived with her parents and worked for others. Part of the time she worked as a clerk in Ben Waldron’s store.
When my father returned from his mission, they made a home and she raised a family of five children, Owen, Mary, Daniel, Hermand and Elizabeth. She was a good mother, a good housekeeper and was an especially good cook.
She gave liberally to the poor and no one ever left her house hungry. The Indians would come and beg for food when they came to the flour mill at Gwenford. They would ask for bread, butter and meat which she always gave them.
She was a peacemaker among her friends and associates. Mother was a source of strength for Father. She always stood at his side and was ready to help. She held many positions in the church including being in the YMMIA and Relief Society. She accomplished many good things in her lifetime. She was a kind mother, a true friend and a good neighbor to all who knew her.
She died 12 March 1929 leaving her family the memory of a loving, considerate and praiseworthy character.
