The above is the likeness of that of John E, and his good wife,Mary E. Rice, of Flat Gap, Johnson County, Kentucky.
It was in this beautiful rolling section of the western part of this county where these good people were born and reared and even spent their entire life.
Brother John was born July the twenty-third, Eighteen- Hundred and Fifty-Six, while Sister Mary was born February the eleventh,Eighteen- Hundred and Sixty-Three.
In their early man and womanhood or on December the tenth,Eighteen-Hundred and Eighty-Five, these good people met and were married.
To this union were born eleven children, four boys and seven girls.The three youngest children died in infancy, while eight still survive: Marion Rice, Flat Gap,
Mrs.B.H Blanton,Chillicothe, Ohio; Mrs.Ollie Daniel, Quincy, Washington; Mrs.Lessie Williams, Red Bush, Ky.; Walter, South Shore, Ky.; Bessie and Rhoda and Bruce, Flat Gap,Ky.
These good people are the direct descendants of the early settlersof this section and the Rices have been in the fore front of every move in the development of this county. At the early age ofseventeen, John gave his heart to God and was baptized into the Baptist faith, taking his membership with the old Bametts Creek church of United Baptist, he being a charter member in the church.
In the race of life John was the first to cross the river on May the seventeenth, Nineteen-Hundred and Thirty-Six, being seventy-nine years nine months and twenty- four days old.
He came to the end of the journey with a well rounded-up life for God and his cause.
Mother Rice came to the crossing January the twenty-seventh,Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Three, being seventy-nine years, eleven months and sixteen days old.
For some cause she had never attached herself to any church, but in the last hours she pointed to that way that leads higher and said she was going home to rest.
In the passing of these good people we feel that this section has again lost those that have been numbered among our very best citizens.
