Bert Rice

My great grandfather was BERT RICE. He was the oldest child of Charles Newton Rice and Mintie Lou May. Bert was born 13 Mar 1899, in Magoffin, Kentucky. In 1903 he moved to Wenatchee, Washington. He died 14 Nov 1962 in Seattle, King, Washington.

I never knew Bert Rice and I only know a couple of things about him. He married my grandmother, Irma Barnes, on 12 Sep 1917. They had one child together, Margaret Evelyn Rice (my grandmother). Later they divorced. I think their challenges stemmed from his alcoholism.

I would love to know more about Bert. If anybody has any information or stories about him you could share, I would really appreciate it.
