Ionia Sentinel Standard, 11 Apr 1932

Hercules Rice, 57, of Muir, died in the St. John’s hospital Sunday morning,
where he had been a patient several days.  Funeral services will be conducted at
the Muir Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Burial will be in
the Muir cemetery.

Mr. Rice had been one of the outstanding business men of the community, having
owned a farm north of Muir, which now belongs to Chester Ostrander.  He left the
farm a few years ago and purchased the grocery business which now is the
Allen-Ludwick store.  Several years he was the Muir postmaster.  He held
membership in the Gleaner lodge.

He was born at Hopkins station and came to Ionia county when about 17 years of
age.  His parents lived for several years on the Snell place which later was
purchased by James Martin, east of Ionia.  He was united in marriage in August,
1903, to Miss Smith Hayden, who with two daughters, Mrs. Oswald Kosbard, of
Ionia, and Mrs. Joseph Eaton, of Lyons, and a sister, Mrs. Laura Whitbeck, of
Fennville, survive.
