I
have an old postcard photograph of Laurie Harry RICE born April 2? (writing is
not readable) and his mother C. M. R. born 22 Jan 1869. The photograph is dated
3 Aug 1911. The name "Elsie" is also written on the back as if this
is the person to whom the photograph was given. Based on limited research I was
able to gather the following information regarding Laurie and his family as
follows:
?
Laurie
Harry RICE was b. 27 Apr 1911 in Portland, OR to parents Harry Arthur RICE
(1868-1941) and Christine May JOHNSON (1869-1930) who were married 10 Nov 1892 or
1893 in Wright County, MN.? Laurie had
two siblings, Alice Clara RICE (1894-1971) and Edna Harriet RICE
(1895-1934).? Laurie married Lois Louise
LEONARD (1912-2005) on 26 Dec 1934 in Glendale, CA and they had three children,
a girl and two boys.? Laurie died 17 Sept
1995 in San Diego County, CA.
?
Laurie’s
mother Christine May JOHNSON was b. 22 Jan 1869 in Sweden to parents Olaf
JOHNSON (b. 1829) and Lovisa JOHNSON. and immigrated to the USA in 1893.? Christine died 24 Apr 1930 in Los Angeles, CA
and her obituary listed her surviving family members including her husband, and
her children Mr. Alice C. PRORHESKA; Harriet RICE; and Laurie H. RICE.

I’d
like to get this photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if
you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
