[Bourbon County]  [North Middletown Precinct]

C. H. RICE, farmer and breeder of short-horns, P. O. North Middletown; was
born in Bourbon County, July 17, 1843, and is a son of James W. and Patsy
(Boyle) Rice; his grandfather, John Rice, emigrated from Virginia to this
State at an early day and settled in Bourbon County, where he raised a
family of seven children, three sons and four daughters.  The second son,
James W., was born Feb. 22, 1804, and was married Dec. 5, 1822, to Patsy
C. Boyle, and died on the 11th of May, 1847.  James W. ranked among the
most prominent men in the county in his day, as was clearly demonstrated
by his being twice sent to represent same in the State Legislature. This
important position he filled to the entire satisfaction of his
constituency, and with honor and credit to himself and family. He raised
a family of eleven children, ten of whom survived him, four sons and six
daughters, the third son living, C. H., who is our subject, remained on
the homestead till [sic] the war broke out between the sections, and in
1862 he enlisted in the Confederate Army, under Col. Cluke; was captured
with Gen. Morgan in Ohio on the 26th of July, 1863; was first taken to
Camp Chase, and afterward to Camp Douglas, where he remained a prisoner
till [sic] the close of the war; in 1865 he returned to his Kentucky home,
and on the 30th of April, 1867, he was married to Sarah E. Sydner, of
Platte County, Mo.; by this marriage there were three sons, two of whom
are living, James., and John I.  The youngest son, Henry S., was killed
by lightning on the 9th of July, 1879.  Mr. Rice owns a nice little farm
of 65 acres, and rents 200 more, where he breeds and handles short-horns,
of which he has now about thirty head.  Mr. and Mrs. Rice and one son are
members of the Christian Church; politically he is a Democrat.
