The decedent was a brother of "Bud" Prichard, the Boyd County, KY capitalist who died recently and is survived by one bother, Dr. Lewis Prichard of Charleston, WV. Mr. Prichard was one of the wealthiest and foremost citizens of the west where he had resided since 1889. He was married in 1858 to Miss Caroline Compton of Blaine Creek, Lawrence Co., KY. To this union were born 7 children, 6 of whom survive him - Hubert, Oliver and George, all prosperous farmers in Nebraska, and Mrs. Lucy Auxier, Mrs. Margaret Auxier and Mrs. Cora Stinson, also of the west. He had been ill from Paralysis for many months, which finally resulted in his death Monday morning. He was born and reared to manhood at Kavanaugh, Boyd County, KY and was prominently connected throughout this valley.
