Justin Rice was born April 27th, 1800 in Charlemont, Massachusetts, 2nd child of Sylvanus and Margaret Shurtleff Rice and younger brother of Cyrus Rice. The family moved to French Creek, WV about 1816, then to Edwards County in 1830. Justin died a single man on November 25th, 1836 at the age of 36.
I have placed his memorial here with the rest of the Rice family, but his burial site is actually unknown at this time, no stone has been found here in any previous cemetery readings. The oldest burial where a stone has been found dates back to 1843. It is possible this cemetery had not been started until plans for a church building on the site had been made in 1843, the structure was built in 1844. Justin may have been buried in a small plot on the family farm.
