Have been looking for 10 years to find out what happened to my Great Grandfather Sam Rice.
He was born in Darke Co, Ohio in 1861, Married my Great Grandmother in Dec of 1883, and
abandoned her and a newborn son within the year. In 1887 he married a Melissa Biedners in
Jay County Indiana. I have his unusual signature on Marriage Certificates, an Inheritance
document, and their divorce papers. At that points he cannot be found on any census or any
public record. Can anyone give me a hint where this man went? Was he lynched as a horse
thief in Ranolph Co? He traveled through the county several times enroute from Darke Co to
jay Co.
