On page 78 of the Fall 2005 issue of The New York Researcher (a publication of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society), there is a brief article by Carolyn G. Stifel regarding a gift to the Society of a portrait
of Elise Gautier (FRENCH) RICE, 1865-1938. The article reads in part as follows:
"Mrs. Rice was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Summerfield French of Gambier, Ohio, where Dr. French was long associated as an alumnus of Kenyon College. She married William Lowe Rice, a prominent attorney in Cleveland. He was murdered in Cleveland on August 5, 1910, while Mrs. Rice and her four daughters vacationed on Cape Cod. Following his death Mrs. Rice and her children moved to New York City. She resided at 550 Park Ave. for the remainder of her life, and took an active life in various social and civic affairs. The daughters were Mildred Gautier Rice, Elisabeth Rice, Virginia Ten Eyck Rice and Helen Lowe Rice. . . .
"In her letter of July 15, 2005, Mrs. [Rodney W.] Smith shared with me a very personal memory of her grandmother:
"I remember going to visit her every Sunday for a formal luncheon after which each of her grandchildren would have to play a new piece on the piano!! The guests were my mother and 2 of her sisters plus 4 of us grandchildren. She had always wanted a boy, but she only had 1 grandson –the rest of us were all girls. One daughter and granddaughter were never invited it seems the daughter had "displeased" her in some way. . . .Grandmother's word was The Law! She was also very astute in things financial, helping my mother when she was in-between husbands, etc.
"She was a member of The Colony Club (a founder of the children's dancing school), a member of The Women's Club of London, and the Pilo or L'Interallié Clubs of Paris."
