Atlanta Constitution, 2 Aug 1916
Ila, Ga., August 1 - This entire community was shocked Sunday by news of the 
death of John H. Rice. Mr. Rice was one of Madison county's most prominent and 
influential citizens. He was a member of the county board of education and had 
always taken a deep interest in all maters pertaining to the advancement of 
his county and state. Funeral services were conducted at Mount Hebron  Baptist 
church, of which he was a member. A large number of friends and relatives, 
including many from Danielsville, Comer, Royston and other cities, attended 
the services.Dr. W. R. Henderson officiated and the body was interred in Mount 
Hebron cemetery. Mr. Rice attended the home-coming convention at Fort Lamar 
last Saturday and was apparently in excellent health. The deceased leaves a 
wife, formerly Miss Amanda Hutcherson, of Elbert county, and the following 
children: Talmadge Rice and Garnett Rice, of Madison County; Mrs. R. D. 
Burress and Mrs. Dr. G. W. Westbrook, of Ila, Madison county; Misses Lois and 
Bertha Rice, of Madison county.  

Additional Comments:
Madison Co. marriage records show that John H. Rice and Amanda E. Hutchinson 
were married on 19 Dec 1877. [Although the date of death was not shown in the 
obituary, a calendar for the year 1916 shows that the Sunday before August 1 
was on July 30.]
