I had an Augusta "Gus" Rice, b. 1855, who married into my family, Hannah
Daniels, b. 1858. I believe they are buried at Greemont. George Rice,
1861-1936, married another aunt, Ida Daniels. They went to Los Angeles
where they died. n 1936 my grandmother wanted to fly out for the funeral of
her older sister, but the doctor advised against it (probably because he had
never flew.)
