Died

At the residence of her son, one and a half mile north of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, August 22, 1883, Mrs. Sarah Rice, in the 74th year of her age.

Deceased was born in Mercer county, Pennsylvania, October 9th, 1809. Was one of a large family of the children of David and Hannah McDowell, all but three of which are still living in good old age. Married in 1828 to James Rice, left a widow with seven children in 1846, emigrated with them to Iowa in 1856, where she has since lived. Her children, except the two eldest, survive her. She was early identified with the Free Presbyterian church, and was a member of that church until it was emerged into the Congregational church, with which she was connected during the remainder of her life. Such is a brief record of a life that closed with a year and a half of intense suffering and pain, but is now at rest.
