Miss Rena Rice passed away at her home in market Street, Rockville Monday night about 9 o'clock after an illness of some weekscaused by a heavy stroke of apoplexy from which she was unable to rally. Miss Rice was about 64 years of age, and was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac A. Rice. In infancy she was adopted by Dr. Harrison J. Rice, her parents having died and was reared as one of his own children. Miss Rena Rice possessed a lovely personality that attracted all with whom she came in contact, and her friends were legion. Possessed of a keen mind and an exquisite gift of humor, she was as savor to the feast, in any gathering which she graced with her presence, and in club work she was regarded as one of the brightest women in town. She was keenly interested in Missionary work and active in church activities when health permitted. she delighted in the home and home duties and there her presence will be sorely missed, as it will in the clubs which she always made more enjoyable by her presence. Her passing from earthly activities has cast a wave of sadness over the community, where she has spent practically her whole life, but none have sought the other shore more fully prepared than she. Funeral services were largely attended at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. AS Bender officiating. Interment was made in Rockville Cemetery - kbz
