  Leominster
  Asaph W. Rice Dead.
  The selectmen received a telegram, Friday, that Asaph W. Rice was dangerously sick at the hospital at Keene, N. H. About 5 p.m., another message was received announcing his death. Particulars were not given. Mr. Rice has been in the habit of late of visiting a brother, Augustus Rice, residing in Keene, whenever he received his quarterly pension, which accounted for his visit there at this time.
  He was troubled with an aggravated form of rupture, this, coupled with the fact that he has been suffering with a severe cold of late, leads his friends to suppose that death resulted from these causes. The selectmen arranged with Undertaker Richardson to go to Keene this morning to bring the body here for burial. Mr. Rice was almost as well known in Fitchburg as here, where he has resided for man years. Of late years he has been incapacitated from work by reason of physical disability. For several years after the war he worked at the tannery at North Leominster. His last emplyoment was at the Haynes farm near the reservoir.
  This morning it was learned that Mr. Rice died from the effects of a surgical operation.
  Mr. Rice was born in Fitchburg, Aug. 9, 1820. His army record is as follows: Entered the service July 12, 1861, at Camp Scott, Worcester, as a private in Company A, 15th regiment, was discharged as a private, August, 1864, at Baltimore, Md., at expiration of term of service. The first battle in which he was engaged was at Ball's Bluff and was afterwards at Antietam, Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Second Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Yorktown. He was wounded at Antietam and confined in hospital at Washington, D. C. He joined Charles H. Stevens Post 53, G. A. R., Feb. 25, 1886.
• He was buried on 19 Dec 1898 at Evergreen Cemetery, Leominster, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Section 9, Lot 130. From the Fitchburg Sentinel, Monday, 19 December 1898:
  Funeral of Asaph W. Rice
  Asaph W. Rice was buried from the M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, with G. A. R. honors, 63 members of Charles H. Stevens Post, 53, G. A. R., being peresent in a body, which considering that arrangements for the funeral were not completed until 5 p.m. Saturday, was a good showing.
  Rev. James F. Allen read the Methodist burial service, and pronounced a fitting eulogy; the choir of the church wang appropriate selections, after which the officers of the Post rendered their service in a deeply impressive manner. The following members of the Post acted as bearers: Ira D. McClary, John J. Railey, Cornelius Wilder, Henry Joy. The remains were placed in the receiving tomb at Evergreen cemetery.
  On the return of the Post to G. A. R. hall, a vote was passed, thanking Rev. James F. Allen and the choir of the M. E. church for their services at the funeral.
