An Old Landmark.

MIR. EDITOR: In passing through the
County this winter we had OCCASION to 90
by the old Rice graveyard, in Martin
Township, and never having seen it be-
fore we dismountei and spent a half hour
looking over the Inscriptions on its tomb
stones. This graveyard is one OF the land.
marks of this County, and within its pre-
cincts lie buried some people whose
names we're household words in this
County less than half century ago, and
whose descendants and relatives can be
counted almost by the hundreds. The
first person buried here was Levi Cllnk,
scales, whose grave occupies central
position, and is solidly walled up with
rock. Between this and the road we
found the names of Joseph and Ann Clark,
the former born in 175G and died IN !S4o,
and the latter born in Ito and died IN
1858. These were uncle and aunt, II we
have been correctly Informed, of Rev: a.
Rice, mentioned below, and also OF Mal.
James Thompson, now living at Lees
Shoals, in this County. Not far away we
find the graves of Hezakiah Rice, born in
17G4 and died in 1860, and Polly Rice,
born in 17G0 and died in 1857. These
were father and mother Of Rev. A. Rice,
and lust near them lie the bodies of Rev.
A. Rice and his wife, Sally T. Rice, the
former born in 1898, and died in 1878, the
latter the date of birth not given, but the
death is stated to be in 1858. What an
eventful period in the history OF our
country and of the world is covered in
the course of these lives. Joseph and Ann
Clark were born British subjects, and at
the time of the birth of Joseph Clark
France and England were engaged in that
mighty struggle for supremacy on the
ocean and on the American continent,
and at his death he was sovereign citi-
zen of the greatest republic OF modern
times. What memories crowded upon us
as we stood by the grave of the Rev. A.
Rico. His name and his form are among
our earliest recollections, and he was q
warm personal friend and frequent visitor
of our grand fathers. And what warm,
tender and true man he was, the fountain
of whose tears did not lie deeper than bis
eyelids. And what heritage he has left
in his good name for his many relations
scattered almost everywhere in the lower
part of the County and in the distant West.
There is mournful pleasure in standing
in such sacred spots and holding COM
munion with the honored and the sainted
dead It gives US fresh courage to EMU
late their example, and fresh inspiration
for the duties ofIife. D. II. r.
