MOSES RICE  

It is with much sadness that we try to write a short obituary of Moses Rice. 
He was born Feb. 18, 1851, died Oct. 6, 1944, aged 93 years, seven months 
and 24 days. He was married to Sarah Sturgill in 1874. To this union were 
born five children; three preceded him in death, which left Bro. Sam and 
Lonzo to mourn their loss. He joined the United Baptist Church and was 
baptized by Bro. Sam, his son, when he was 75 years old, on the second 
Saturday in July, 1925. He lived faithful and always filled his seat at 
church and went to church when he had to be hauled in a sled. We miss him 
at the old church and his home. He was loved by his many friends and relatives. 
He believed in the doctrine of salvation by grace. We trust that his grand-
children will strive to meet him in the city of the blessed.
