Cordelia Beeda Hicks was born in New Bedford, Connecticut on April 2, 1843 and departed this life February 9, 1931, aged 87 years, 10 months and __ days.
With her parents, she moved to Readsboro, Vermont in 1848, where she grew to womanhood. She was the oldest child of a large family, and the usual responsibilities and duties devolved upon her in early life.
On November 9, 1859 she was married to Philander W. Rice and lived in Vermont until 1875, when they moved to Wisconsin for a portion of a year. In June 1876 they moved to a farm near Delphos, Kansas, where she resided until her death, her husband having passed away March 17, 1925.
To this union, eight children were born, seven sons and one daughter. The daughter, Mila, passed away in 1875 at the age of four years, and one son, Stoughton E. Rice, preceded her in death Dec. 17, 1928. Those surviving are: Duane, of Topeka, Kansas; Morris of Strassburg, Colorado; Myron H. of Eugene, Oregon; and Harrison S., Archie D. and Edgar P., of Delphos, Kansas. She is also survived by one sister, one brother, 15 grandchildren, and other relatives and friends.
At the time these pioneer people came to Kansas, there were 36 who came from the same vicinity in Vermont and settled on nearby farms in Cloud and Ottawa Counties, enduring the hardships and misfortunes of life in a new country. Most of them have passed on to their reward, but the work of those pioneers is seen on every hand, in the developments of this beautiful country.
Mrs. Rice was a kind and faithful wife, a most loving and devoted mother, and her thoughts were always of her home and children. One of her greatest desires was that all of her children should have a home of their own, and she lived to see that desire gratified. She expressed her thought, some time ago, that she had done all that she could for her family and the community, and was ready to pass to the higher life.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 11, from the home in charge of Rev. E.A. Coates. Burial was made in the Delphos Cemetery.
