Born in Pendleton County, Va. (Now W. Va.)
Mr. Isaac Hinkle Dice died at his home near Franklin, February 8th, 1897 in the 81st year of his age. He was one of the old men of the county and his family one of the first settlers in the state. He died on a farm that had never been out of the family.
His parents John and Mary Dice were blessed with nine children, four sons and five daughters. Of these, Isaac was the fifth, but two are now living, George Washington Dice of Augusta County, Va., and Phebe Jane Jones of Franklin.
In 1848 Mr. Dice was married to Miss. Mary Ann Dice of this county, and to them were born seven children, Mrs. Price Sites and William Dice of Rockingham County, Elizabeth P. Dice, dec'd. Mrs. A.A. Shumate of Highland County, Alice, Charley, and Hinkle.
Among his numerous nephews and nieces prominent in this and in the counties adjoining may be named: Rev. J.C. Jones of the Baltimore conference, Hon. C. Pinkney Jones of Monterey, Dr. T Olin Jones of Harrisonburg, Dr. I.C. Johnson, Dr. J.B. Johnson, and Dr. Fred Moomau of this county. Mrs. Asbury Smith of Pocahontas county, Mrs. Prof J.W. Johnson, Mrs. T. Bowman, Mrs. Dr. I.C. Johnson, Miss. Sallie D. Jones and Miss. Caddie Moomau of Franklin.
Mr. Dice was a kind and honest man. In him the community has lost a useful and honored member and his family an affectionate husband and father. His amiable, genial nature won him many friends. An evidence of the high esteem on which he was held by his neighbors was seen in the large concourse that gathered at his home and followed the remains to the grave.
He was a member of the M.E. Church, South, having been received a short time before his death. His wife and seven of his children belong to the same church, his mother was as Methodist, and with very few exceptions the same may be said of the whole family connection. With remarkable truth it could be said of him, "He belonged to a Methodist family."
The funeral services were conducted at his home by his pastor who had been received in the church 23 years before by Rev. F.C. Dice a brother of the deceased, at his father's home in Maryland and who had the pleasure of receiving Mr. Dice himself in the church and of conversing with him concerning his religious experience. He expressed regret that he had not united with the church before, said he "I ought to have taken this step 50 years ago." But his determination was set to consecrate to God the residue of his life. His last words to him on leaving were, "You may depend on me." His figure was drawn to its full height and his face was full of expression.
Soon after he was taken sick and when again visited he was unconscious.
His pastor is the writer of these lines. With reverence he lays this tribute of respect upon the grave of the brother of his venerated and loved "Father of the Gospel" and earnestly commends his sorrowing wife and relatives to God, and the word of his grace which is able "to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctified."
