Newsprint - Showcases in the Rice Room This is a small, undated newspaper article taken from a large collection of newspaper articles which had been saved by Katharine McDowell Rice. This article reads: "Two show cases have been completed in the Rice Memorial Room of Frederick Sargent Huntington Library. One contains the christening dress and cloak of Susan Tracy Rice, who was born in 1863. These articles have only recently come to the library. The other case contains the dress uniform coat and sash of Brig. Gen. James Clay Rice, who died in 1865 of wounds received in the Civil War. There is also a gun of the War of 1812 which was converted for use in the Civil War. These show cases are the gift of Prof. and Mrs. William G. Rice Jr. of Madison Wis." The Civil War artifacts have been given to the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA. The christening dress and cloak are now in the Historical Society archives.
