MARTHA ELIZABETH (RIGBY) RICE, 23 Feb 1839 - 23 Apr 1901
DIED at her home in Sturgis, Mich., April 23, 1901, Elizabeth
Rice, aged 62 years, 2 months and 1 day.
Martha Elizabeth Rigby was born in Richland county, Ohio, Feb.
23, 1839, and while yet a child came with her parents to Salem
township, Steuben county, Indiana, where she spent the greater part
of her life, moving to Sturgis only a few years ago. She was united
in marriage December 2, 1857, to Asa B. Rice and to this union were
born seven children, five of whom, N. I., James, Rosalvo and Ella
Rice, of Sturgis and Mrs. Amy Glasgow, of Helmer still survive. Her
remains were laid to rest in the cemetery beside those of her
husband who died in 1896. Soon after her removal to Sturgis she
became blind and her health, never the best, gave way, but she bore
her afflictions with remarkable patience. She will long be
remembered by Steuben county people as a kind neighbor and friend.
