Benjamin A. Rice
The passing of Judge Benjamin A. Rice, on August 29, 1936, took from the Bar at Campbellsville, Kentucky, the oldest member. Of the many worthwhile qualities possessed by Mr. Rice, one of the foremost was that of being a good listener, an accomplishment that enabled him to do things in a real way and without bluster and noise. An able lawyer, especially a sound and dependable pleader - not strong as a public speaker - but peculiarly gifted in the fine art of written pleading. And, having pleaded to a proposition, it was just up to the lawyer on the other side of the case to get ready to try the issue on the merits thereof, for there was no getting his pleadings out of court, on technicalities. He was kind and very considerate of the rights of others, never forgetting that his privileges stop where those of the other fellow begin. An unassuming man, fair and humble, a characteristic that only those of fair, liberal and generous minds can possess. A hard worker; true to his conviction, loyal to family and was never known to turn a client away because that client did not have money sufficient to pay the fee. Mr. Rice was a meek man and meekness, we are taught, is the ornament of a quiet spirit, and a thing of great price. He was friend - Peace to his ashes. ~Abel Harding
