He engaged in farming and lived in the Bethel Grove community until he moved to Iowa Falls 28 years ago. He was a member of the Church of Christ at Bethel Grove for years, later becoming a member of that church at Iowa Falls. He is survived by the widow, a daughter, Miss Wilma Nyce, music supervisor in the Aurelia school; two sisters, Mrs. D. L. McKinnon of Pasadena, Calif., and Mrs. L. W. Hauser of Bethel Grove. He was an uncle of Earl H. Nyce and Miss Hazel Nyce of this city. Mrs. Nyce is a cousin of Joseph A. Whitacre, also of this city. A brother, Howard Nyce, died several years ago.
