John and Mahala had 2 children, Etta M. (Rice) Salmon Wamsley and Everett Harland Rice. In early life, John was a carpenter by trade working in wagon shops in and near Brownsburg. After John married Mahala, they moved to Illinois for 3 years and tried farming. John and Mahala returned to Hendricks County, Indiana purchasing part of his father's old homestead. In 1870, John purchased 40 acres in the southeastern part of Lincoln Township (Hendricks County) and lived there for most of his life adding and owning 100 acres. In the spring of 1920, John, widowed, moved to Columbus, Indiana to live with his son, Everett Harland. John was staying in the New Commercial Hotel in Seymour in route home (Columbus) from spending the winter in his son's home in Florida. At first it was believed that John died of a heart attack or suicide, but the coroner determined he died from suffocation because of an accidental gas leak. It is believed he thought he was turning on an electric light in the morning, but instead turned on a gas light, which quickly rendered him unconscious. John and Mahala had two children-Etta May (Rice) Salmon Wamsley and Everett Harland Rice.
