"America Alice Abolt was born October 11th, 1852, and departed this life January 24th, 1902. She was married to Samuel Rice Nov. 30, 1871, who survives her.
Mrs. Rice united with the Baptist church at Newtown, February 12th, 1870, and was baptized February 27th, of the same year by Elder Bowles, who was at that time in charge of the Newtown Baptist church, and she remained a faithful and consistent member up to the hour of her death.
For a number of years the life of Mrs. Rice had been one of affliction and although the best medical talent of the state was procured for her, it proved of no avail. During all these long years she bore her affliction bravely, and faced death calmly, without a fear or doubt as to her future, and happy in the thought that she would soon be with her sainted mother and an idolized daughter, Bertie, who had preceded her.
Beside the husband, who had been her stay and support for over 30 years, Mrs. Rice leaves three children, father, two brothers and a host of friends to mourn her demise. She will be sadly missed by the entire community, being born in the vicinity of Newtown, where she was content to pass her days. Mrs. Rice was 49 years, 3 mos. and 13 days old." - Covington Republican, January 31, 1902 (Obituary provided by Smith)
