My grandmother was (Dorothy) Arnett(e) BICE - Her father was Moral L. BICE.
Mother was Eliza (perhaps Louisa) RUSSELL. She was born in Lewis County W.
VA. Supposedly July 4, 1890.
Arnette's mother died when she was a toddler and she and her father came to
Muncie, IN. I believe Moral had other BICE family in Delaware County, but I
cannot connect him to the other BICE's in that area.
Moral L BICE was born 11 Sept 1850
On 18 March 1897 he married Mary L. LYKINS and they had 3 children. Two
dying in infancy. Their daughter was Blanche BICE born 15 March 1899 in
Delaware County. I am afraid I cannot give any further info on this BICE
line. I cannot connect Moral L. BICE to anyone else and know only what I
have told you. Moral died 25 May 1920 in Delaware County (Yorktown). The
1900 census says he was born in VA. The 1920 census says West VA. (On the
1920 census, a niece, Fay Tuttle was shown living with them.) In Moral's
obit it states that he had 3 daughters...Blanch of Yorktown, Mrs. Harry Mason
(Arnett, my grandmother of Jackson, MI) and a Mrs. Pearl Nighart of
Millerville, IN - I have NO idea who Mrs. Pearl Nighart could be. Does
anyone know anything about this family?
Blanche BICE married Earl RUSH and had 2 daughters, Etta Jean and Mary
Francis, and one son, Earl Rush Jr. Blanche died in 1974 in Costa Mesa, CA.
Does anyone know about this BICE line?
Thanks,
Barbara
