[Wright]
Price
was
born
in
Montpelier
,
Bear
Lake
County
,
Idaho
[birth
date
and
parents
'
names
unknown]
. She was
born
and
raised
in the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
. Her
great-grandfather
Jonathan
Wright
was a
Methodist
in
Pennsylvania
and
traveled
to the
home
of
Joseph
Smith
to
inquire
about
this
new
sect
. They
talked
from
6pm
to
6am
about
the
Church
, and
Jonathan
Wright
was
converted
. He was then
asked
by the
prophet
to
organize
the
Pennsylvania
saints
for the
trek
west
. Her
grandfather
,
Amos
R
.
Wright
, was
ten
years
old
when
they
headed
to
Utah
and
settled
in
Brigham
City
.
Elizabeth's
great
grandfather
served
as a
court
judge
with the
legislature
for
20
years
and was a
great
friend
to the
Indians
in the
area
. Her
grandfather
was also a
friend
of the
Indians
, and
served
three
Indian
missions
in
Utah
.
Elizabeth
loved
listening
to the
stories
her
grandfather
would
tell
about
the
Indians
.
Elizabeth
attended
Montpelier
High
School
for
two
years
, and then
finished
at
Fielding
High
School
in
Paris
,
Idaho
. The
library
at her
high
school
was
quite
small
, and
Elizabeth
made
it
a
personal
goal
to
read
all
the
books
in the
school
library
.
Based
on this
experience
,
Elizabeth
decided
to
major
in
English
when
she
went
to
college
.
Elizabeth
was also
influenced
by her
father
,
who
loved
learning
. He
read
'
Literary
Digest
Magazine
' and
all
the
newspapers
, and
thought
the
biggest
disgrace
was not
keeping
up
with the
things
of the
world
.
Elizabeth
attended
Utah
State
,
University
of
Utah
, and
Brigham
Young
University
to
complete
her
undergraduate
work
. At
one
point
, she was in
Paris
,
Idaho
and
met
the
youngest
Price
boy
and
fell
in
love
. They
decided
they
could
both
teach
after
a
12-week
training
course
at
Normal
School
in
Albion
,
Idaho
.
Elizabeth
made
it
very
clear
from the
beginning
that she would not
give
up
education
for
marriage
.
Shortly
after
they
both
completed
their
training
,
Elizabeth's
husband
received
a
fellowship
to
teach
at
Utah
State
, and
so
they
moved
back
to
Logan
,
Utah
. They
both
went
back
to
get
their
Master's
Degrees
and
moved
to
Eugene
,
Oregon
to
attend
the
University
of
Oregon
. They also
went
to the
University
of
Washington
and the
University
of
California
.
After
finishing
there,
Elizabeth
and her
husband
went
back
to the
University
of
Washington
to
get
their
doctorates
. Her
husband
taught
there for
12
years
, and then he
passed
away
.
Elizabeth
moved
back
to
Salt
Lake
City
to
teach
in
Murray
. In the
next
several
years
,
Elizabeth
continued
her
education
,
taking
typing
and
filing
classes
at
LDS
Business
College
, and
moved
several
different
places
to
teach
. She
taught
in
Hawaii
for
three
years
,
moved
back
to
Utah
,
moved
to
Rexburg
,
Idaho
and
taught
at
Ricks
College
for
seven
years
, then
taught
at the
University
of
Vermont
.
Elizabeth
loved
to
travel
and
went
to
Europe
several
times
. She also
liked
to
include
visits
to her
children
and
grandchildren
in her
travels
.
[Death
date
and
place
unknown]

Abstract
This
collection
consists
of
one
bound
,
hardcover
book
that
is
a
typed
transcript
of an
oral
interview
. There are
20
pages
of
text
, with a
3-page
index
at the
end
. The
interview
was
conducted
by
Jessie
Embry
on
August
1
,
1973
in
Salt
Lake
City
,
Utah
. The
interview
was
conducted
for the
Charles
Redd
Center
for
Western
Studies
,
Brigham
Young
University
, and the
Utah
State
Historical
Society
for the
Southeastern
Utah
Oral
History
Project
. At the
beginning
of the
interview
, a
few
questions
are
asked
to
get
Elizabeth
started
, but then
turns
into
just
a
narrative
of
Elizabeth's
life
. She
talks
very
little
about
her
childhood
,
giving
only
a
little
information
about
her
high
school
days
. She
gives
a
little
information
about
her
genealogy
,
talking
briefly
about
her
grandfather
and
great-grandfather
. The
majority
of her
interview
covers
her
education
and
travel
experiences
she had
before
and
after
she was
married
. The
interview
is
lacking
dates
of
events
and
happenings
, and
gives
very
few
names
of
people
who
were a
part
of her
life
.
