Uncle Sam Brice Dead
The community was startled Saturday morning to hear of the sudden death of Samuel Brice which occurred at his home two miles south of town at about 5 in the morning. He was only sick about an hour taken at about 4 o'clock with a pain in his heart and died an hour later. He had been in reasonably good health for a man of his years but was taken about three weeks ago with a smothering spell which however passed off without any serious results and but little attention was paid to it. Heart trouble was undoubtedly the cause of his death.
Samuel Brice was born in Pike county, Missouri, 76 years ago last August and came to this county about 44 years ago. He was married twice. To the first marriage three children were born -- Joseph Brice of Delta, Colorado; John Brice and Mrs. Martin Childers both of this county. His first wife died 35 years ago and after several years he married Miss Jane Montgomery of this county. To their union was born seven children -- Seth, Ira, Ruth (Mrs. Geo. Quigley), Ida, Roxie (Mrs. Jed Ratchford), Joshua and Fred, all of whom live in this county.
Brice was one Putnam county's most esteemed and substantial citizens, quiet and unassuming, a business man and farmer of ability, he won the respect of the community in which he lived.
The funeral services were held at the family home, and consisted prayer and singing, after which the Masonic order, of which he was a member, took charge of the remains and interred them in Unionville cemetery with ritualistic services.
