Facts and Events
Baptism sponsors were Patrick and Catherine Cashen. She is listed in the 1860 census of Jones County living with her parents. She was baptized at St. Martin's Church, Cascade, Iowa. The Jones County line is just outside Cascade, Iowa. Part of the line runs through South Cascade. Therefore the town is partly in Dubuque, County and partly in Jones County. Catherine married Charles C. Rice, Sept. 17, 1877. Charles was born at Bowen Prairie, Iowa, Jones County, in 1854. The town is gone and all that is left of the old settlement is the cemetery. Here we found the parents of Charles Rice; Elizabeth Allen Rice, Worcester, mass. born May 15, 1813 and died Aug. 30, 1866 age 65 years . His father Lucian Rice was born in Worcester, Co. Mass. and died Dec. 11, 1880. Their children were Mary Rice who married E. A. Averill; Kate Rice married -----Condit; ( their son or grandson was Chester Condit of Monticello, Iowa and did Charles and Doris Reddin’s income tax for years) They never knew they could have gleaned lots of information on the family from this source. Doris didn’t think he was aware of the relation-ship either). In 1880 Catherine and son George were living in Cascade with her mother, Margaret Reddin. They later moved to Montana. Charles had a brother, George living in Montana at Deere Lodge Co. Mt City of Butte. In 1888 after her husband, George died, she moved into Denver near her sister Delia Kelly. Between 1886-87 everything changed for the cattlemen and cowboy. The summer was bone dry but the winter of 1886-87 was the most devastating ever recorded on the northern plains. Storms broke up herds and snow buried them; sixty per cent of the cattle in Montana alone died. Many ranchers lost all that they owned and therefore gave up all together Catherine Rice became ill in Denver and moved back to Cascade with her mother. She died at Cascade, Iowa in 1900 and is buried in St. Martin's Cemetery, Cascade, Iowa. DEATH OF MRS. C. C. RICE Mrs. Charles C. Rice died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Reddin in East Cascade at 6:30 o'clock Monday morning, during which time she was a keen suffer. Her maiden name was Kate Reddin and she was born in Cascade July 19, 1859. She married to Charles C. Rice Sept.17,1877. Two children were born to them. Kitty, who died in infancy in Butte City, Montana in 1888. And a son George .Since that time, Mrs. Rice lived in Denver, until about one year ago when she returned to Cascade hoping the change of climate would benefit her health. The funeral took place at St. Martin's Church Wednesday at 9 a.m. and was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. (Charles Rice also died in 1888 at Butte City , Montana) O'Brien Reddin Katie Rice http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=0d9cc67d-64cf-45f1-8ef5-f4f2524cc5a9&tid=7775997&pid=-1039232629 References
