 In 1854 the marriage of Elihu S. Rice and Miss Jeannette Mabon was solemnized. For forty-one years they pursued the journey of life together, and in 1895 the summons to the better land came to the devoted wife and mother. Of their two children Frank M. has been previously mentioned in this sketch; and the daughter, Annie E., is the wife of George C. Taber, of Logansport.
-From his boyhood Mr. Rice has taken great pleasure in music, and at an early age was able to read notes readily. By close study he acquired a considerable knowledge of the art and in 1848 was chosen leader of the social glee club of mixed voices, for which he composed his first musical piece. The same year he organized a male quartet comprising, besides himself, D. E. Bryer (whose campaign songs, in later years, were published by the Home Music Company), James Bryer (deceased) and Allen Richardson. In 1856 this quartet, as "The Rocky Mountain Glee Club," assisted in the presidential campaign of that year and became celebrated. Four years later Mr. Rice became director of the Logansport choral union, which numbered about fifty persons. For over thirty years he has been the faithful leader of the Baptist church choir, he having been connected with that church as an active member for years and for over a quarter of a century having officiated as one of its trustees. In 1866, while secretary and chorister of the Sunday school, he wrote the popular music to H. L. Hastings' hymn, "Shall we meet beyond the river?" More than twenty-five years ago he composed the music for that beautiful anthem, "Come, let us sing unto the Lord," and during a recent trip to Salt Lake City and the west he was pleasantly surprised, upon the occasion of his attending the services in the great Mormon tabernacle, to hear the choir of over two hundred well-trained voices, accompanied by the wonderful great organ, render the anthem mentioned in an excellent manner. Music has been a recreation and a pastime with him, for his soul delights in it. His life has been that of a noble Christian man, of love and service toward God and man, and he may well look back upon the past with few regrets and with the assurance that to him will come the verdict, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

He has been an honored and respected citizen of Logansport for sixty years, much of this time having been actively engaged in business enterprises here.
 Though he has passed the usual life period of man, three-score years and ten, Mr. Rice is still hale and hearty, giving promise of many years of usefulness and activity, as he is sound in mind and body. Born in Genesee county. New York, February 28, 1827, he is a son of Erastus and Lucretia M. (Howe) Rice. The father, who was a native of Massachusetts, died in 1833, and five years later our subject, with his widowed mother and brothers and sisters, came to Logansport. Though his school days ended when he was sixteen years old, he was by that time master of the more practical branches of learning, and ready for beginning his business career. He obtained a position with the firm of Henry Martin & Company as clerk in 1843, and one of his associates here was the late J. C. Merriam, with whom he afterward was financially connected in one way or another as long as Mr. Merriam lived. During this long period, from 1843 to 1890, their relations were thoroughly harmonious, and were attended with marked success.
