Obituary: Mollie Rice, 29 Jul 1898 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 12 January 2003 Copyright.

She was the wife of Ernest H. Rice, who resides near Chandler, in Henderson County. She was married to him on November 7, 1893. She was the daughter of G. P. and M. A. Rowland, who live at Troupe, Texas. Her death, no doubt, was a great relief to her, as she had been a sufferer for quite a while from consumption. She was a member of the Methodist church at Chandler, and was a devout Christian. I visited her not long before her departure, and found her confidently trusting God, and patiently awaiting his will. During the prayer service she became so happy that, notwithstanding her extreme weakness, she could not refrain from rejoicing. Her patience and happiness in severe affliction bears testimony to the sustaining grace of Christ. She leaves behind a weeping husband and a bright little girl, Adda. Among her last words were: "Good bye; meet me in heaven, and take good care of my babe." M. I. BROWN, p. c. Flint, Texas.
