      FRANK G. RICE, who is general manager and buyer for the firm of Jennings
  Brothers at Lopez, is a man who has attained his present responsible position by
  his own exertions, having been first employed by this firm in a subordinate
  capacity and earning his promotion by the faithful discharge of his duties. The
  firm have a general store and are also proprietors of the Jennings Lumber Mill
  and dealers in all kinds of mill goods. Mr. Rice was with this firm for two
  years before coming to Lopez, his connection with them covering twelve years in
  all. His ability as both buyer and salesman and his genial and accommodating
  manner, combined with his honorable dealings in all business transactions, have
  made him invaluable to the firm and placed him in high favor with all who
  patronize the establishment.
  
      Mr. Rice was born at Monroe, Bradford county, July 27, 1865, the son of Joel
  Rice, who was a gallant soldier during the Civil war, where his health was

  member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married Miss Mathena Kellogg, who
  is still living, and three children were born to them: Mary I., who has for a
  number of years been a popular and successful teacher; Frank G., our subject;
  and Willard, who resides on the old homestead in Monroe, where the family have a
  good farm and a pleasant home. Our subject obtained a good education in the
  common schools and at Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, and later engaged in
  teaching for a short time. He then went into the store of Jennings Brothers, in
  whose employ he has remained ever since. In 1887 the firm removed to Lopez, as
  has been stated, and are doing an extensive business there.
  
      Mr. Rice was united in marriage January, 22, 1892, at Athens, Pennsylvania,
  to Miss Adelaide Kinney, a daughter of Frank G. and Harriet (Mineer) Kinney, of
  Athens. Mr. Kinney was a lumberman, but is now deceased. Mrs. Kinney is now
  living with Frank G. Rice, in Lopez. Mr. and Mrs. Rice have three children ñ
  Frank Richard, Elizabeth K. and Joel K. Mr. Rice is a stanch Republican and a
  loyal citizen, who takes a deep interest in all public questions of the day and
  lends his aid to all progressive movements. He is frank and genial in his
  manners and is one of the popular men in Lopez.
