Matilda Rice was the fourth child born to her parents. She was born in Washington, D.C., during the years her father served as a first Senator for Minnesota, newly admitted to statehood in 1858.
She grows to womanhood in St. Paul. In 1880 she marries Maurice Auerbach, a recent widower left with three small children.
Maurice Auerbach was born in Germany, came to the U.S. about 1860 and was a successful merchant and banker in St. Paul. He and his second wife, Matilda Rice, have at least 4 more children together, three living to maturity. For reasons that can be guessed at, the two sons revert to their mother's maiden name of Rice. This happens about the time of WWI, when anti-German sentiments ran high and even some small towns with German sounding names took on more American sounding names.
Maurice Auerbach dies in 1915, but his second wife Matilda Rice Auerbach goes on living for 30 more years.
