I have seen other references where the father George P Rice died in the state of Washington USA ... so that makes sense now that I seen this record for Luther Rice, son of Geo & Mary ...from the source of this record >> https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JDDM-LBD

It appears that Luther was his middle name and James is his first name, born in state of Washington and that he married in 1914 in Canada to Ferol Gertrude Peters 18 years old.

further notes taken from the document are:
James Luther Rice is listed as Age: 24; working @ sawmill work; his residence is stated as Leavenworth, Washington [which is in county of Chelan] and his religion is listed as Baptist; his 'condition' is listed as bachelor; his father is listed with an occupation of 'Lawyer'.


Ferol Gertrude Peters is age 18 and listed with a residence of Golden, BC. but born in Lindstrom, Minnesota[which is in county of Chisago]; her religion is Presbyterian;her 'condition' is listed as 'Spinster' and her father works as a cook.

I find it quite funny that he at age 24 is considered as a bachelor whereas she at age 18 is listed as a spinster !

I wonder what religion they concluded on practicing after their marriage as he was Baptist and she a Presbyterian prior to wedding.
