It was a most decided shock to the entire community when word was passed around town Sunday night of the sudden death of Dr. Clint Rice at his home, corner of Elm and Arkansas street, the result of heart failure. He had driven to Pea Ridge in the morning and was stricken down a few minutes after his return that evening. He complained of not feeling well and the family phoned for a physician but he passed away before one could arrive. Funeral services were conducted at the Central Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. J.A. Womack, assisted by Rev. Robt. L. King, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Burial in the Rogers cemetery. Dr. Rice was born at Fayetteville May 5, 1865. He was married near Bentonville to Miss Dora Burks by Rev. Peter Carnahan, Presbyterian minister, on April 15, 1897. To this union were born two daughters, Mrs. Edward Breedlove of Bentonville and Miss Pauline Rice, who lives at homs. He is survived by his wife and four brothers: Chas. Rice, Bentonville; T.S. Rice and R.M. Rice, Pea Ridge; and W.C. Rice, Huntsville. Dr. Rice was preceded in death by five brothers and three sisters: Will Rice who was killed during the Civil War at Jenkins Ferry; J.A. Rice, Bentonville; R.S. Rice, Rogers how died five years ago; T.M. Rice, Avoca, who died two years ago; M.B. Rice, Pea Ridge, who died last years; Mrs. Julia Perkins, Texas; Mrs. Mary Mitchell and Miss Hettie Rice, Rogers. He is also survived by a large number of other relatives and friends. In the death Sunday night of Dr. C.A. Rice, Rogers and Benton county lost not only a man who was raised here and who has ever been a leading spirit in ever civic undertaking in his home community, but a man who was respected and loved by all who knew him. Dr. Rice spent most of his professional life in Gentry and in Rogers, coming here fifteen years ago last spring to enter into partnership with his older brother, Dr. R.S. Rice, who died a number of years ago. In addition to his medical practice Dr. Rice has served as both city and county health officer and was for many years a member of the Rogers school board, serving as the president of the board a goodly share of the time. A conscientious worker in everything he undertook, Dr. Rice has been a force for better living and better schools in Benton county and his memory will be honored by the large circle of teacher and pupils with whom he came into contact during his years of service as county health officer.
