Norman was the son of William Biles Price & Euphemia Elizabeth Poyer (born July 31, 1833). He married Nancy Jane (Jennie) Spohn on 25 MAR 1877 in Lotts Creek, Kossuth County, Iowa. They were the parents of Kenneth Llewellyn (1878), Vida Igurna (Arthur Meyer), Gwen Howell, Max Whitney, Norman Donald (1891-1969), & Malcolm Poyer (1895-1975).
Norman was a stone mason and architect's superintendent of construction on a number of courthouse buildings in Iowa.
JEFFERSON HERALD - Thursday, January 21st, 1932 - Many Jefferson people learned with sorrow yesterday of the death of Norman A. Price, a former resident of this city.
Mr. Price first came here as supervising architect of the court house, representing the firm of Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson, of Des Moines. This firm was also employed by the Jefferson school district to draw plans for the new high school building, work upon which commenced a short time after the completion of the court house, and Mr. Price continued to reside here until that work was finished, then going to Iowa City where he performed architectural service upon the University hospital building.
During their residence here Mr. and Mrs. Price were called upon to mourn the death of their daughter, Mrs. Owen H. Jones. She had been in poor health and came here to make her home with them. Her death occurred on June 2, 1920, and the body was interred in the Jefferson cemetery. Her father was brought here for burial, the body having arrived yesterday.
Funeral services will occur this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Slininger chapel, with services in charge of Rev. Swick, of whose church Mr. Price was a very active member during his residence in this city.
Mr. Price's best work here was upon the court house, a building erected at a very low cost, and for quality of workmanship not excelled by any public building in Iowa. The high school was also a fine piece of construction. However, in both these buildings, high credit is ever given to Julian Geneva, foreman upon the court house job, and supervisor of the high school erection. Mr. Geneva died very suddenly just before the high school building was finished, and thru the efforts of Mr. Price and a number of other friends of Mr. Geneva, a memorial tablet honoring his memory was placed in the main hall, facing the north entrance. Mr. Price and Mr. Geneva will long be remembered as two men who contributed splendid service to the fine workmanship and architectural beauty of these two public buildings.
Mr. Price was not unknown to Jefferson in earlier days. In the year 1889, when the present grade building was erected, Mr. Price was a brick layer on the job. He often told the story of coming here from northern Iowa on the railroad now owned by the Milwaukee, carrying nothing but a sack containing a few articles of wearing apparel and his kit of bricklaying tools. He always liked this city, and it is fitting that this should be his last resting place.
