Rhoda Wynn Price is the daughter of William Cradock Price and Rhoda Wynn Parry.  She was born on September 10, 1863, in Blina South Wales.  In the spring of 1868, her father came to New York.  Not long afterwards, she and her mother joined him, leaving her sister, Ellen, with her paternal grandparents. 

Her mother returned to Wales to settle business affairs.  During her absence, Rhoda and her father, William, came to Utah.  After her mother returned to America, she remained in New York where she worked as a nurse in the Belle View Hospital until the spring of 1872 when she came to the home of her mother in Tooele, Utah.

While Rhoda's mother was in New York, she lived part of the time with her maternal grandmother, part of the time with Mrs. John Davis at St. Johns in Rush Valley, and part of the time with the Paxton sisters at Stockton Lake, Utah. Her father was in Skull Valley and other places, herding cattle on the range.

In 1872, Rhoda and her mother lived in a dugout in Rush Valley.
