  CHARLES F. RICE, residing in Green Township, Clark County, Ohio, where he is engaged in agricultural pursuits, is also occupied extensively in the threshing and saw-mill business and is widely known throughout this section of the state.  He is a native of this county, having been born a mile north of his present residence May 26, 1874.
     Mr. Rice is a son of William and Matilda (Goudy) Rice, and a grandson of Edward Rice, who some time after his marriage came from the East to Clark County.  The latter located on the old Rice homestead, now owned by Zella B. Kissell, and later traded it to his son, WilliamWilliam Rice was born in the East and was three years old when he came with his parents to this county.  He lived for the remainder of his days on the old homestead.  He and his wife were the parents of six children, four of whom are now living, and of these our subject was next to the youngest.
     Claude F. Rice was reared on the home place and received his educational training in the district schools.  He lived at home until after his marriage, then purchased his present farm of eighty acres of the Stewart heirs.  His residence is located half a mile distant on a tract of one acre. In addition to general farming, as above noted, he operates extensively throughout this section of the state with a thresher in the season and is operating a saw-mill.  His outfit represents an expenditure of $7,000, which exceeds the outlay of any two other men in the county, similarly engaged.  He enjoys the patronage of his home community almost exclusively.
     Nov. 4, 1896, Mr. Rice was united in marriage with Autice Skilling, a daughter of Lewis Skilling, and they have a son, Fremont Charles.  Politically Mr. Rice is a Republican. In religious attachment he and his wife are members of the Baptist Church.  He is a member and past counselor of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, and a member of Company Eight, First Independent Regiment, Junior Order United American Mechanics.  He also is identified with the Patrons of Husbandry.
