The Fentress County Historical Society is pleased to announce the recent receipt of the framed discharge certificate of John H. Price, a veteran of the Spanish American War.
The gift was presented to the Society by Candy Price, great-great granddaughter of Corporal Price.
The occasion of the presentation was a Historical Society program at the Fentress County Courthouse during which author Mark Dudney discussed his book, Sons of the Cumberland: Cordell Hull and John Jordan Gore.
That the presentation was made at this time is significant because John H. Price served as a Corporal in Company H of the 4th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Infantry. Cordell Hull recruited, organized and was commissioned Captain of Company H, which was assigned the occupation of Cuba, with headquarters at Trinidad.
