Rev. R. H. Morgan, a former pastor.
Interment followed at the family graveyard near the church.

Emmett West, Frank Sprinkle, Liston Sprinkle, Lloyd Sprinkle, Auburn
Sprinkle.  His granddaughter carried the flowers---Mrs. C. A. Redmon, Mrs.
Belle Sprinkle, Miss Flossie Sprinkle, and Miss Nellie West, and several
younger granddaughters.

Mr. Rice is survived by one brother, Mr. Jim West of Walnut, and six
children as follows:  Mrs. Eliza Chandley of Greensboro, N. C. and five of
Walnut Creek--Jim Rice, Mrs. W. H. West, Mrs. Alice Sprinkle, Mrs. Lee
