From the Daily Journal, Jacksonville,
Illinois, date of February 18th. we
learn of the death of Elder E. G. Rice.
father Of Mr.. John G. Rice, of the law
firm OF Morrison 4 Rice, Caldwell.
Deceased had been an active minister
OF the Christian denomination for over
forty years and was in his 10th year at
the time of his death. We quote from
the aforementioned paper:
In general ministerial and mission
work, no matter how hard or disagree
able, Mr.. Rice took great delight. MOI
community that called upon him ever0
met with refusal except for good
cause. lie was very active in temper

partment were always appreciated by |
those associated with him. His ONLY
regret was, week or two before he |
died, that his sickness kept him from |
carrying out fully long cherished plans
for more advanced and thorough work |
in the temperance and home mission
fields.
AS a man and a citizen he was
greatly respected and highly honored. |
He was large stock holder and one of !
the directors of the Jacksonville Ma
tional bank, the president for one term
of the Morgan County Farmers Mutual
fire association, and was considered one !,
of the wealthiest men in the county. |
His farms, both in this and Scott conn |
ties, are very valuable. The best citi- |
Gems of the community will sadly miss
him from their midst.
Elder Rice was married January ~.
lS41, to Miss Mary A. Camp. near
Riggston. and his widow with ten chill. |
dren survive him.
Mr.. John Z. Rice, of this place, has
been at the bedside since Christmas
