Who was Rose Hefty Rice?

My first entries on The Rice Kids webpage will be items concerning Rose Hefty Rice. These contributions are my first and, therefore, the language might not flow, the orthographics and grammar might not always be correct, but the intention is to excite the readers with tidbits of information as they become available to me. These articles are preparations for future books on the same subjects, in this case, Rose Rice. Goodness, Rose Rice.... sounds like a movie star! She could have signed documents using RR.  But, I have not as of yet found any evidence of her doing so. (If it had been me, I would have engraved RR in large letters - very large letters - on my tombstone!)

I also need time and experience in managing this webpage.  Maybe I’ll add more color. And pictures.  I will absolutely need to learn to add pictures. And again, contributions in the form of words, ideas, photographs, are always welcomed.

Rose Hefty Rice and Francis Jay Rice were my great-grandparents, that is, their son, Leslie Francis Rice, better known to us as Leslie F. Rice, was Granddad.
