Thayer's Notes:

a Lt. Price's full name is from his AOG obituary, which also calls Philadelphia his "native city".

b I've been unable to discover where precisely Lt. Price was buried, but his AOG obituary states that he was laid to rest from his father's home in Philadelphia.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
