The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 3, 1911
After an illness of several weeks, the death of Mrs. Sarah Jane, widow of the 
late William Rice, occurred at the home on Rice street at 2:30 o’clock this 
afternoon, and in her demise there passes away another of the real pioneer 
band of Ionia county.  She was born on the farm west of the city owned by her 
father, John Welch, nearly 67 years ago.  For twenty years she has resided at 
the home on Rice street where the husband died and where the light of her life 
went out.  She is survived by her aged mother, Mrs. Nancy Welch, of West High 
street, and two sons, John and Harry, both residents of Ionia.

Interment was in Highland Park, the casket being borne by four nephews; Frank 
Strong, Frank Welch, Byron and Ray Welch.

Card of Thanks:

The undersigned, the sons of the late Mrs. Sarah Jane Rice, most gratefully 
return their thanks to the kind neighbors and good friends who were so
