Cemetery: Evergreen

'In the death of Mrs. Clara H. Rice, which occurred yesterday Paris and especially the First Methodist church lost one of its most earnest and consecrated workers, one whose attendance on services and zeal in work was unfailing and which had lasted through a long life up to the very day that she was stricken by illness. Mrs. Rice was born in Mississippi in 1848 and came to Paris in the early seventies and was well known to all the older citizens. She was a charter member of the Methodist church and of that band only two are now remaining in Paris. Her husband, Walter Rice, died eleven years ago and since them she had devoted her life to her church and charity work, and to helping friends and neighbors in their interests of every sort. She is survived by her only daughter, Mrs. Clara Rice Thompson, who numbers her friends by the population of Paris and much of the surrounding country. Funeral services for Mrs. Rice will be held this afternoon at her late home, 213 West Kaufman street, and burial will be in Evergreen. The funeral will be conducted by Rev. E. W. Alderson, who officiated at her wedding and who conducted the funeral for her husband. He will be assisted by Revs. J. H. Groseclose and W. D. Mountcastle.'
Buried next to Walter A. Rice. Tombstone is inscribed, 'Clara H. Rice.'

Lutie's sister Medora C. Wilson married Andrew Jamieson of Canada in Denver on November 3, 1881, and they moved to Beatrice, Nebraska, where they named one daughter Lutie.

1930 Beatrice Nebraska "Miss Lutie Jamieson and her sister, Mrs. Clarence Nickel, of Wichita Falls, Tex., have returned to Beatrice after three weeks in Boulder, Colo. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Mayborn [this must be another sister, Dora (Jamieson) Mayborn, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Thober of Ellis, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Mayborn of Diller left last week to motor to the Pacific coast for a vacation trip."

Beatrice Nebraska - December 1945 "Mr. and Mrs. Drew Jamieson and Dean will have as dinner guests New Year's eve Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jamieson and Harold, Mrs. Glenn Miller of Denver [Helen, born about 1922, daughter of Robert Jamieson, died in 1987, buried in San Jose, California with Glen W. Miller], Mr. and Mrs. William Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Clair Dopps and Nancy of Mason City, Iowa. Mrs. Sarah Dopps of Wakefield, Kas., D. T. Dopps and Lutie Jamieson."

In 1936 "On February 21, 1930, Oscar Turk and Anna M. Turk executed a promissory note in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $1262.00. There was due upon this note at the time of the trial of this case the sum of $392.71. An additional note dated November 17, 1933, was given by Oscar M. Turk to the plaintiff, upon which there was due at the time of the trial the sum of $139.14. To secure the first note above mentioned, for the sum of $1262, the Turks made and executed to the plaintiff on the date on which the note was given a chattel mortgage on twelve Holstein heifers, two years old, and eighteen Holstein milk cows and the increase thereof, the cattle bearing one of five different brands, including a so-called "wagon-hammer" brand hereinafter more particularly mentioned; the cattle being located on Turk's farm about one and one-half miles southeast of Cheyenne, Wyoming. On February 12, 1932, the Turks executed to John H. Conway, to secure the sum of $3000, which is still unpaid, a chattel mortgage on certain personal property including eighteen Holstein cows and the increase, sixteen head of Holstein heifers ranging from one and one-half to four years old, located on the place known as Turk's Dairy, about one and one-half miles southeast of Cheyenne, Wyoming. On September 8, 1932, the Turks executed to the Standard Loan Company a mortgage on the same property covered by the mortgage of February 12, 1932. This mortgage was given to secure the sum of $560, still unpaid. On October 13, 1933, the Turks executed a like mortgage to secure the sum of $512.50, covering the same cattle hereinbefore mentioned. On March 22, 1934, the Turks executed a like mortgage to secure the sum of $800 on eighteen head of Holstein cows and all increase, sixteen head of Holstein heifers, four to six years old, and all increase, all branded on the right hip, all kept on the place known as Turk's Dairy, located about one and one-half miles southeast of Cheyenne, Wyoming, the sum secured being still unpaid at the time of the trial of this case. John H. Conway did business as the Standard Loan Company, and all mortgages will be treated as those of Conway. While the mortgage to the plaintiff describes eighteen Holstein cows, it appears that some of these cows were already dead, or had been sold and the proceeds applied on a mortgage to the Wyoming Investment Company, to which the Black Lumber Company mortgage was made subject. The mortgagors had at that time only six Holstein cows and twelve Holstein heifers. Six of the heifers were sold with the consent of the plaintiff and the proceeds, amounting to $270, were applied on the indebtedness. Four of them were sold to Clay Robinson Company and brought only the total sum of $13.50; one was sold to a Mr. Smith and brought only the sum of $5.00. Four of the heifers died in 1933, the remainder in 1934. There was no increase of these cattle, on account of the fact that a dairyman, as Turk was, does not raise the increase. Hence none of the cattle covered by the mortgages to Conway are in fact any of the cattle mentioned in the mortgage to plaintiff, nor the increase thereof. Commencing with 1932, the Turks bought new cattle with money furnished by Conway, namely, eighteen head of Holstein cows and sixteen head of Holstein heifers. At the time when this money was borrowed from Conway the Turks promised and agreed that they would secure the money borrowed from Conway by a mortgage upon the cattle which he would buy in the future. Part of the money furnished by Conway was used for the purpose of paying off the mortgage of the Wyoming Investment Company hereinbefore mentioned. The Turks owned a brand in 1923 to 1925, which was called by Mr. Turk the "wagon hammer brand." Some of the cattle covered in plaintiff's mortgage probably bore this particular brand, and on the left hip. That brand is marked thus: \[ The rights of the Turks to this brand were lost from and after 1925. The brand, similar to the reverse thereof, and described in the plaintiff's mortgage, is marked thus: ]- This brand appears to have been copied, by the person who drew the mortgage, from the prior mortgage to the Wyoming Investment Company. That brand was not, in fact, owned by the Turks in 1930. On March 28, 1932, a certificate was issued to the Turks for a new brand, marked ]\ and to be used on the right hip of the cattle."
