Centenarian Mary E. Rice is buried at Bristow City Cemetery. She shares an upright marker with her husband Robert B. who preceded her in death by about 25 years.
Some historical events that occurred during Mary's time on earth:
1881: Billy the Kid is shot and killed by Pat Garrett, outside Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
1901: A showing of 71 Vincent van Gogh paintings in Paris, 10 years after his death, creates a sensation.
1921: The Emergency Quota Act is passed by the United States Congress, establishing national quotas on immigration. Because this drastically limits immigration from Eastern Europe, Jews emigrating from there begin to prefer Palestine as a destination rather than the U.S.
1941: WWII: President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt delivers his "Infamy Speech" to a Joint session of the United States Congress at 12:30 p.m. EST (17.30 GMT). Transmitted live over all four major national networks, it attracts the largest audience ever for an American radio broadcast, over 81% of homes. Within an hour, Congress agrees to the President's request for a United States declaration of war upon Japan, and he signs it at 4:10 p.m.
1961: "Barbie" gets a boyfriend, when the "Ken" doll is introduced in the United States
1981: Sandra Day O'Connor takes her seat as the first female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
