Lima News, January 21, 1930

JONATHAN K. BRICE, 74, retired civil engineer and pioneer Lima citizen, died 
of heart trouble at St. Rita’s hospital on January 21st.  He had been a 
patient there for two weeks but had been in ill health for several months.

The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday from the Williams & Davis funeral 
home and burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery.  Rev. VICTOR SMITH, Rector of 
Christ Church Episcopal will officiate. 

Surviving are one son, WILLIAM E. BRICE, connected with the Atlantic Refining 
Co., at Philadelphia; and two daughters, Mrs. ARTHUR FARWELL, of East Lansing, 
Mich.; ELIZABETH BRICE WILSON, teacher in March Foundation schools at Van 
Wert, and five grandchildren.

BRICE was an authority in mathematics and was highly educated and largely 
read.  He was born in Columbus Grove, January 26, 1855, son of Rev. WILLIAM K. 
and CLEMENTINE CUNNINGHAM BRICE.  Following the death of Rev. BRICE, the 
family removed to Lima in 1870, where BRICE graduated from the Lima high 
school in 1892, and immediately entered Annapolis Naval academy which 
institution he graduated in 1877, and for a number of years followed the sea.  
Later he resigned and engaged with his brother, the late Senator CALVIN S. 
BRICE, in extensive railroad operations in the south.

He was a Democrat and served a term as county surveyor during 1913-15, and 
just prior to that time was city engineer of Lima.  He had been twice 
married.  His first wife was FRANCIS BAXTER, daughter of GEORGE BAXTER, 
pioneer Lima citizen.  Later he married CAROLINE EVARTS who preceded him in 
death in 1907.
