	Jeremiah married his second wife, Sarah B. Robison Glassburn, in November 1886. Both he and Sarah appear in the 1887 census as living on this land with Jeremiah’s two children from his first marriage, Charles and Gertrude. Sarah was a neighbor living about a mile and a half away when her husband died in 1885. Jeremiah served as the executor of his estate (see the [[Bowen Railroad Quarter (NE ¼ of Section 33)\| Arius Glassburn/Bowen Quarter]]). Sarah had at least two minor children at the time, but no record of what became of them has been found.		Jeremiah married his second wife, Sarah B. Robison Glassburn, in November 1886.

Jeremiah Farmer Rice was born in Missouri in 1843. He is the old second child to Charles Coleman Rice and Jane Powell. Their first child, a daughter had died as an infant. After their fifth child was born, Charles may have caught "gold fever" and moved his family California. Instead of going to the gold fields near Sacramento, Charles settled near Upper Lake, California. The records only indicate Missouri as Jeremiah's place of birth, although his siblings were born in Jackson county, Missouri. In all Charles and Jane had ten children; the last five of which were born in California.

[[File:Emily P White Rice gravestone.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Emily White Rice tombstone in Lakeport, California [findagrave.com]]]While in California Jeremiah married Emily P. White and they have at least two children, Charles P. and Gertrude. Charles was born in Denverton, California. Emily died in 1881 at age 30 and is buried in Lakeport, California some 100 miles from Denverton where Charles was born. [Jeremiah is in a Big Valley California 1880 census. need to check where Big Valley is and who was living with him at the time.]

Jeremiah moved with his two children to Reardan. He filed a Receivers’ Receipt to reserve this quarter of land in January of 1888 and a year later he got the homestead land patent. He also had a timber culture quarter granted in 1893 (see Rice Timber Culture). Timber cultures were supposed to take 10 years, so that would have put his arrival in 1883. However, there were some exceptions to the law for homesteaders. Figuring that a homestead took five years, it would have put his arrival to the land in 1884, although he does not appear in the 1885 census. In 1889 Reardan itself was established with the completion of the railroad between Spokane and Grand Coulee and Washington qualified for statehood.

Jeremiah married his second wife, Sarah B. Robison Glassburn, in November 1886. Both he and Sarah appear in the 1887 census as living on this land with Jeremiah’s two children from his first marriage, Charles and Gertrude. Sarah was a neighbor living about a mile and a half away when her husband died in 1885. Jeremiah served as the executor of his estate (see the [[Bowen Railroad Quarter (NE ¼ of Section 33)| Arius Glassburn/Bowen Quarter]]). Sarah had at least two minor children at the time, but no record of what became of them has been found.

Jeremiah's daughter, Gertrude, married Victor Imhoff, a Reardan neighbor, who became a train dispatcher first in Spokane and later in Fresno, CA. She had two children, Roy and Myrtle [probably born in 1902 in Spokane]. She sold the railroad quarter to John Mahrt in 1909. She died in 1964.
