General Notes: Husband - William Emerson Rice

---

After attendance at the common schools of his native town, he supplemented the knowledge thus obtained by a course in Chamberlain Institute, Randolph, New York, and Allegheny College at Meadville, Pennsylvania. The first seven years of his active career were devoted to teaching, in which line of work he achieved success. In 1882, having decided to lead a professional life, he became a student in the office of Wetmore, Noyes & Hinckley, of Warren, Pennsylvania, a leading law firm, under whose guidance and tuition he advanced rapidly. He was admitted to the bar of Warren County, April 16, 1885, and immediately began practice in the borough of Warren. In 1888 he formed a partnership with Judge Brown and Hon. C. W. Stone, the firm name being Brown, Stone & Rice, which obtained until 1890, when the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Rice then became associated with W. D. Hinckley, under the firm name of Hinckley & Rice, which connection remained unbroken for a number of years. Later he again practiced on his own account, receiving a goodly share of the patronage in his judicial district. He was elected judge of Warren County, having been a candidate on the Republican ticket, but resigned to accept the position of corporation attorney for the Elk Tanning Company.
