    2. Shelley Cardiel via
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified only as "Baby RICE" of Mayville, ND. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with the little girl about 3 years old. I believe that this is a photograph of Alpha RICE. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Alpha and her family: Alpha RICE was b. 20 Feb 1895 in Mayville, ND to Carrie RICE (b. 1864). Alpha also had a brother, George Ingeman RICE (1906-1968). Alpha died in ND in July 1983. Census records provide the following details regarding this family: 1900 census of Pasadena, CA: John B.
