Crosier of Astoria, Oregon; one sister, Gladys Crosier, of Eagle Grove. One sister, Lucy E., preceded her in death, December 21, 1904, and her father died at Manchester December 31, 1897. Since their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stice have resided at Gladbrook, Cedar Rapids, Tama and about a year ago they moved to Eagle Grove.
