She is survived by the following children (Frederick of Wenatchee, Wash.; Byron and Henry of Denbigh; Frank of Houston, Texas, and Mrs. Olive Jones of Little Rock, Ark.). Twenty grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren also survive. Grandmother Nice, as she was affectionately known, would have celebrated her hundredth birthday had she lived until April 19, yet she was still alert and interested in all family and community affairs, and kept up a wide correspondence. She was for many years a member of the Mennonite Church, attending services faithfully and regularly until her last weeks. Throughout her long life she was always mindful of others and leave the bright testimony of a full and happy Christian life. She was born in Ohio, moving with her family, while still a girl, to the wheatlands of Illinois. There in 1879 she was married to Jonas Nice. The young couple pioneered and founded their first home in a sod house at Roseland, Nebr. She worked with her husband who was ordained there as minister, first serving in that new land. In 1891, they moved to Louisiana where, except for one and a half years, they lived until they came to Virginia. She survived her husband by twenty years. Funeral services were held Feb. 17 at the Warwick River Mennonite Church, with T. H. Brunk, Geo. R. Brunk, and John H. Shenk in charge. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.
