esteemed rich man. and, we suppose, was. Re-
verse Of fortune, however, came before DEATH but
not before he had taken the precautlon to Insure his
life for he leaves children and grandchildren who,
but for his care in this respect would be dependent
on others. Among the several insurance companies
insured in by Mr.. Rice was the Equitable Life for
