In 1904, Price was married to Salome C. Royer, and had three children: John G. Price, Jr., Salome Kathleen Price Reinhard, and Richard Royer Price.[1][2]
Price was exalted ruler of Columbus Lodge No. 37, B.P.O.E. and was elected grand exalted ruler for 1924-25 at the Boston annual convention.[2][3] He was also grand knight of the Knights of Columbus.[2]
