History
In the 1850s, Gabriel had a son, Joshua.

Gabriel Price was hired by civic leaders on October 7, 1858, to clean up the town of San Angelo. He names himself town marshal and begins to run troublemakers out of town. He also cracks down on the vigilance committees, which start to fade away.

On January 1, 1866, after 8 years as town marshal, Gabriel Price steps down. Grateful San Angelo residents and civic leaders present him with an engraved gold watch, and the aging lawman settles into a quiet retirement.
