"We would have dances at different homes. There was always someone who could play the violin, banjo, guitar and mandolin. It was at one of these dances that I saw playing the guitar one of the most handsome men I ever saw. He had dark hair and was fair complected, handsomely built and wore a mustache. He was new in our neighborhood and I soon learned he and his family had just moved into our community. I was introduced to him and while we were dancing he asked me to let him take me home. Of course, I let him. His name was Edwin Martin Price. When we decided to get married I knew I could not tell my stepfather. I knew he would not want me to get married, but my mother liked Ed quite well. So we decided to run away to get married. Ed met me with a horse and buggy and we were going to Clarksville. It started raining a heavy down pour of rain and completely ruined my beautiful new hat. The minister met us on the road in a buggy also. So we stood up in the buggy and was married there in the middle of the road in the rain."
