The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, June 30, 1924
Alonzo Rice, aged 90 years, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Conner, 
north of Muir, Sunday at 2:30 a.m.  In his death closes a chapter of lives of 
one of who was immensely popular in Ionia county not only because of his 
pleasing personality, but also because of his financial interests which has 
meant much to the farmers of this vicinity, for Mr. Rice had assisted many in 
getting a start.

He had lived on the farm in Ionia township since 1885 and now his body will be 
taken back to the old home for the services, where the furniture still 
remains, and where Mrs. Rice’s funeral services were held one year ago in May, 
at which time Mr. Rice’s condition was considered critical, but in spite of 
his then advanced age he rallied to live on with his own family, all within 
the cemetery, and only two sons left to mourn his loss.  These had not been 
located at noon today.

Mr. and Mrs. Rice had been married 66 years at the time of her death, shortly 
after which the old home was closed, and later the aged man was taken in the 
home of William Conner, where he has been most tenderly cared for.

The funeral services will be held at  … o’clock Eastern time Tuesday from the 
old farm home.  Rev. M. S. Decker and Rev. Johnston of Muir, will officiate.  
Burial will take place in Highland Park cemetery.
