three children born to Leslie and Grace [Rich] Rice. She was born in Augusta,
Kansas on June 7, 1885.
Zelda was in
poor health most of her life, asthma, and thus lived in Phoenix, Arizona for
many years. She never married, and her heart and soul were always a part of
Fernbrook Farm.
Zelda died in Phoenix of pneumonia at the age of 60 on October 8, 1945.
