VIM. A. RICE
Stricken Down at ThreSh.
hold of Young
Manhood.

Never was more glorious sunset
than last night. the stiffness and qui-
etude of the Sabbath giving added at
tractiveness. but with its. going a soul
went out into the mysterious realm
from whence no man has ever yet re-
turned, save One.
William A. Rice. aged twenty one,
third son and beloved Of Mr.. and Mrs
P. A. Rice died last night at : :35
that the deceased was seen in public
was at the Reading Circle of the
Methodist church on ths night of
Maerh 26th. His serious illness begnn
on the following dav and since that
time he has gradually grown worse,
until death claimed linn for its own
last evening.
Death loves a shining mark" and
certainly one was found last night.
as no young man had brighter pros
poets or was as nearly all young man
should be than was the deceased young
man, He has grown from childhood
to manhood in this CITY. He was
born In Canon CITY this state, May
25tb 1882 and would soon have reach
ed his twenty second year He has at
tended the public schools and was
graduated from the High School of
this city in the class of 1901. He was
a member of the Methodist church
and a member of the Epworth League
and was model young man in every
sense that that term conveys.
His death is shock, not only to
his family, which took great pride in
him. but to the community at large
and his associates generally.
The loss to the family is an ire
parable one. In the full strength of
young manhood, with f1attering
prospects ahead. it seems that he
should have been spared to work out
the bright future seemingly before
him. But death respects neither youth
Or age and when the summons comes
all must go. sooner or later.
The funeral services will occur to-
morrow afternoon at 80 O'Clock from
the M E. church. Revs. E. H. Smith
and ]. E. Weir, pastors of the NJ. E.
and Presbyterian churches will have
charge of the last services for the
dead.
The knowledge of his death became
known at several of the churches last
evening. just as the congregations
were assembling for evening worship
aud it caused deep feeling of sorrow.
