Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Last Saturday, Mr. J. C. (Grandpa) Rice, aged 94, passed away at Temple, Texas, in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Osborn Richards. Mr. Rice had been in a weakened condition for some time on account of his advanced age. His remains were brought back to Alvord Saturday night by Rhyne's Funeral Home to the home of another daughter, Mrs. Tom Gray of near Alvord.
