Oct. 9, 1865, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Ann Hollenbeck, with whom he lived in happy wedlock for 56 years.

Mr. Tice began work for himself as a young man, and by hard work and economy has made his way in the world. He lumbered, farmed and served his country as a soldier in the Civil, war,, when he enlisted in the First Michigan Light Artillery and served for two years, or in other words, until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged. During the last two years he has lived a retired life in Yale, in the midst of his friends.
For a number of years he has entertained a strong, desire to know his God in the forgiveness of his sins, and it was his good fortune during the last few months to have the witness of his acceptance with God. Even during his last illness he gladdened the hearts of those who were near by saying, "I was a great sinner, but Jesus saved me''. He often expressed a desire to live nearer to Him. He was a great sufferer and he has gone to his reward. Funeral services were held in the Brick Chapel on Monday, Nov. 7 by Elds. R. M. Dodd and J. A. Avery. Interment was made in Elmwood cemetery.
(CARD OF THANKS - We wish to thank the many friends and neighbors for the kindness shown during; the sickness and after the death of our husband and father; to the choir for their singing and to the minister for his comforting words at the funeral. Mrs. Jonathan Tice and Family.)
