© Glencoe Mirror Glencoe, Oklahoma July 6, 1934 George Richmond Rice August 27, 1842 ~ July 1, 1934 George R. Rice Died Sunday Afternoon As one "who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to sleep.", so died George Rice on Sunday afternoon at 2:30. He had been "going down the valley" for several days; all that loving hands and medical skill could do had been done and the only question was, when. The end came peacefully. The funeral was held at the Christian Church in Glencoe in the presence of the family and a host of friends. Only one of the few remaining members of the soldiers of the Union army with which he marched, was able to be present, H. N. Hadley. The quartet, consisting of Mrs. F. P. Jones, Mrs. F. S. Stephens, Roy Cummins, and J. E. Cannon, with Mrs. R. B. Skidgel at the piano, rendered "America," "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," and "When the Silver Cord Is Broken." The pallbearers consisted of J. M. Anderson, S. H. Price, T. E. Peters, O. T. McCormack, Henry Chappell, and C. B. McCubbin. Rev. L. L. Roach, Pastor of the Christian Church at Stillwater, had charge of the service. The scripture reading was from certain portions of John:14, and his discourse was one of the most pleasing and consoling heard here upon such an occasion. The remains were buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. [Reference: Page 363, TRIBUTES OF BLUE, by Pearcy and Talkington, 1996.] |
