Samuel K. Rice

Samuel K. Rice, dentist at Northwood, Iowa, settled here in June, 1882. He was born in Perry Co., Penn., April 17, 1851. He received his education in his native State and when nineteen years of age, he entered the dental office of Dr. Borland. In the spring of 1872 he went to Colorado Springs, remaining there until 1881, when he returned to Perry county. Here he was married to Mary M. Rice, though of the same name yet was no blood kindred. They have one child—Elsie May. The doctor has in a short time established himself in the confidence of the people, and has built up a good business. He is a member of the Masonic Northern Light Lodge at Northwood. Source: History of Mitchell and Worth Counties, Iowa, 1883, page 852.

Dr. S. K. Rice was born in Perry county, Pa.. April 17, 1851. When 19 years of age he entered the dental office of Dr. Borland. After remaining here two years he emigrated to Colorado Springs, Col., where he resided nine years. In 1881 he returned to his native home in Pennsylvania, remaining but a short time. When he again left for the west he was not alone. In June 1882 with his young wife he settled in Northwood where he has ever since been actively engaged in the practice of dentistry. He now has a practice which makes him one of the busier men in Northwood.
On the 24th day of January 1882 he was married to Miss Mary M. Rice, whose possession of the same surname is simply a coincidence. The have a family of four children: Elsie M., one of Northood's popular teachers; Minnie; G. O., now pursuing the dental course, in the State University of Iowa and Dow, who is still attending our public schools.
