Rice, Henry, 1843-1863.
Biographical notes:
Henry Rice was a Civil War soldier in Company H of the 103rd Illinois Infantry Regiment.
At age 19, Henry Rice left his home in Lewistown Illinois, a farm on which he lived with his father Amory, his mother, Martha, and a brother, Oliver, to enlist as a private on August 12, 1862. After waiting eagerly for a month at Camp Peoria, Illinois, he was finally mustered in on October 2, 1862. Letters do not chronicle the rest of his experiences, but he served until February, 1863, when he died of disease in Jackson, Tennessee.
