CROSSED THE RIVER
The Grim Reaper Robs Eli Grice of His Earthly Existence

	At 2:25 o’clock yesterday afternoon, before the eyes of friends and relatives,
the body of Eli Grice was robbed of its life by the grim reaper, death, and
taken to a place where sorrow, and suffering, such as he has endured for the
past three month[sic], is unknown.
	He had attained the ripe old age of 75 years, one month and two days, and
leaves a loving wife, with whom he lived 51 happy years, and six children, five
girls and one boy, all of whom will be here as soon as possible, except the
oldest, who resides in Virginia.  They are, Mrs. Serepta Smith, Virginia; Mrs.
Alice Walker, Niles township; Giles Grice, residing on the homestead, four miles
north of this city; Mrs. Mattie Henzelman, Atwood, Ill; Mrs. Delia Gilleland,
St. Joseph; Mrs. Emma Shuart, of Chicago.  They are all married and are
respected people.  He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Nancy Hunt, residing north
of here, and one in Valpariso.
	Mr. Grice was one of the oldest settlers in this vicinity, having lived here
since he was 12 years old and on his farm north of Niles since marriage until
six years ago, when he moved to his city and resided at the corner of Howard and
Fifth streets, where he died.
	Deceased has always been an industrious and economical business man, honest in
all his dealings.
	On the 17th of October he suffered a stroke of paralysis which eventually
brought on his death.  The STAR, together with their many friends, extend their
sympathy.
	Funeral, Wednesday morning at the M.E. church, Rev. J.W.H. Carlisle to
officiate.  Burial at Dick’s cemetery, four miles northeast.
