Coldwater Courier, Dec. 23, 1893
Christian Rice died at his home in Girard Township at 10 o'clock last Wednesday 
morning. Had he lived until next Monday he would have reached his 86th 
milestone, as he was born Dec. 25, 1807, in Northumberland Co., Pa. In 1868 he 
moved to Centreville, in this state, where he resided until 1880, then came to 
Girard, living there until his death. He leaves as an inheritance to his 
children the example of a life well spent, and to his aged wife the memory of a 
true and devoted husband. Beside his wife there survives ten children--Cyrus, 
who resides in Watsontown, Pa.; Ella, of Montoursville, Pa.; Sarah Bouteman, of 
Parkville; William and Alfred of Leoidas; Mary of Three Rivers; George, of 
Fisher Station; Mrs. Agnes Whitelock of this city; and Charles and Emily, of 
Girard. The funeral will be attended at his late residence at 10 o'clock this 
(Saturday) morning,Rev. J. B. Pinckard officiating.
