James M. Rice civil War Veteran
dies suddenly at his home

Suddenly but gently did death tap at the home of James  M Riceearly Wednesday 
morning summmoning the husband and father to his long rest.  Mr. Rice was at 
the advanced age of 79 years and had not been in the best of health for 
sometime, but his condition was such as to give no cause for alarm.
Early wednesday morning he arose going downstairs, but in a short time 
returned to bed and appeararently went to sleep.  At the usual time Mrs. Rice 
got up and prepared breakfast after which she called her husband. But on 
receiving  no reply went upstairs to find that he had passed into the 
beyond, death probably due to heart failure.
Mr. Rice leaves besides a wife three sons two whose homes are in montana and 
three daughters who live in Wisconsin.  Geo. M. Rice of this city is also 
a son of the deceased.
No arrangements for the furneral have been made, awaiting arrival of the 
members of the immediate family.
