Laura Manes Rice is not shown in any cemetery records for Newton Co.AR. On the 1900 Newton Co.AR. census in Richland Twp. were living: Ezekiel Rice, b:July1833, age 66, m:44yrs, b:KY Sophia (wife) b: Oct 1837, age 63, m:44 yrs 3 children with 2 living. She was born Ohio Numer, C. V. (grandson)b:July 1887,age 13, b: MO was living with family. Next door was: Rice, Cornelus, b: Sept 1876, age 23, m:1 YR, b:Kansas Daisey B (wife) b: Mar 1884, age 16, m:1 yr. b: AR The Rice family IS NOT on the 1910 Newton Co. AR. censu on Richland. I found no marriage for Laura Manes to any Mr. Rice. Checked Newton Co.Marriages from 1910 to 1927 and found no Isaac Rice. There were Manes families in Searcy Co.AR. Checked there on the 1870,1880 census records and found no Laura Manes listed. Checked the earliest marriage records there and found no marriage for Laura Manes. Are you familiar with Soundex microfilm records? If you are not certain as to whereabouts your Rice families lived, try the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 Rice Soundex Microfilm which you will not find on the Internet. Most States had Soundex microfilms for those mentioned years. Go to any good public archival library or use the LDS Family History Library near you. The librarians can help you order the correct Soundex film. Also, it is possible to obtain Surname Index Books for Arkansas for 1880 which is another source for Manes and Rice. Missouri probably has Surname Index Books also for 1880 and other census years. Evelyn Flood Rkinfolks@aol.com
