Ruth May Price Tragically Dies in Snake Attack
All of the four Price girls were outside, while parents
Nathan and Orleanna Price remained inside of the house. The sisters don’t
remember much except hearing screams and sobs. Ruth May’s sister, Leah, told sources,
“I only remember hearing a gulp and a sob and a scream all at once, the
strangest cry, like a baby taking its first breath.”
A few encounters led up to the snake attack. A mamba snake
had been placed outside of their house by someone, as if it were a trap. The
Price girls along with a friend, Nelson, placed ashes outside of their house
leading up to the shack where the snake was to see if they could catch the
suspect. As Ruth May went to check upon the ashes for footprints, she was bit. Leah
found her sister Ruth May after she headed towards the screams. Leah tried to
help her sister, but realized it was too late. Leah noticed a bite on her
shoulder and described it as “two red puncture woods stood out like red beads
on her flesh.”
Another sister, Adah, also recalled, “Her bluish face creased
with a pressure closing in, the near proximity of the other-than-life that
crowds down around clamped shut. Her spine curved, and her limbs drew in more
and more comprehension, she moved away to where none of us wanted to follow.” The
Price family is still in shock from their youngest child’s death.
