Colusa Herald, September 21, 1916
Mrs Josephine Rice Dead
Colusa friends were shocked early Wednesday morning when the word came that 
Mrs Josephine Rice had passed away at her home in Sacramento the night before, 
Mrs Rice suffered a stroke of paralysis about 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and 
passed away about 8 that evening without having regained consciousness. This 
was the second stroke, the first one occurring in Portland, Oregon, about three 
years ago. It was in the spring of 1876 that the wedding took place in Colusa 
that united Martin Luther Rice and Miss Josephine Silver, here they reared a 
large family and made their home until the death of the husband and father, 
three years ago. Since that Mrs Rice has made her home with her daughter Miss 
Alice in Sacramento. The remains arrived on the afternoon train and the funeral 
took place from the Northern Electric Depot at one o'clock, interment being 
made in the family plot in the Colusa cemetery. Funeral services were held in 
Sacramento but a few well chosen remarks were made at the grave, by Rev. J. W. 
Byrd of the Methodist Church of which denomination deceased had been a life 
long member and active worker. The pall bearers were George H. Hall, G. W. 
Strickland, N. W. Clements, E. R. Graham, C. C. Johnson and J. N. Scoggins. Mrs 
Rice was born in Michigan, 64 years ago, coming to California when very young, 
she settled in Colusa nearly half century ago. She leaves to mourn her loss 
four daughters and two sons besides two stepchildren, the latter being Thomas A 
Rice of Colusa and Mrs Mattie Garmire of Kent. Of the immediate family those 
bereaved are Mrs Mary McIntyre of Pasadena, Mrs Inez Newbauer of San Francisco, 
Mrs Ella Gould and Miss Alice Rice of Sacramento, Luther B of Stockton and 
Porter E Rice of Woodland. Besides the near and dear ones she leaves a host of 
friends to mourn her untimely death.
