family. He was 80 years of age.

Daniel Washington Price and Gladys Simpson Price on February 21, 1940.
At the age of 17 he enlisted in the U.S.Navy where he
served his country honorably as a photographic interpreter on highly classified
missions. A P2V plane accident off the coast of Scotland ended his military
career.
He lived his life fully beginning early in life with
adventures as varied as a deck mate on the steamship Avalon, enlisting in the
Navy, and working in the oil fields in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. He spent a long career
in the auto repair business, beginning as the service and parts manager at
Theiss Chevrolet in Greensburg, then at Lyon Beard Chevrolet in Campbellsville,

Campbellsville Motors, Campbellsville Gulf service station, and a body shop and
tire store. He also operated a household
moving service, Campbellsville Movers, and was an insurance adjuster, owning
Wilson Adjustment Service. Throughout his various careers he was a lifetime
farmer at heart, growing tobacco on his farm near Thurlow and after retirement
he also enjoyed raising cattle. Dorval was an avid historian and interested in
the genealogy of his family. His love of his ancestral home in Virginia,
Mulberry Hill, and his support of the foundation for preservation efforts
became a passion.
