OBITUARY
  
Miss Phyllis Deane Rice departed this life at the tender age of 13
years on March 31, 1957, from a hospital at Chillicothe, Ohio, where
she had been taken following an automobile accident.
  
Her sudden and untimely death is mitigated by the fact that she was
converted to Jesus Christ at the age of 8 years and was baptized in
the First Baptist Church, Paintsville, Ky.  At the time of her death
she was a member of the Baptist Church at Waverly, Ohio.
  
Left behind to mourn her home going are the parents, Alva and Erma
Rice, Waverly, Ohio, 3 sisters:  Mrs. Alice Conley, Paintsville,
Ky., Kay and Betty Lou Rice, Waverly, Ohio, the maternal
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Caudill, and a number of other
relatives.
  
Phyllis often used her young voice here on earth to sing praises to
the Lord Jesus Christ and now that she has joined the great throng
in Heaven, we are sure she sings His praises all the sweeter.
