Rice inherited a business in the city of Waterford from his uncle and became a prosperous merchant. He married Mary Elliott, a businessman’s daughter, about 1785, but she died four years later, shortly after suffering a tragic accident and giving birth to a daughter with a physical disability. Rice joined a men’s prayer group, and he resolved to devote himself to the education of poor boys. He opened his first school in Waterford in 1802, followed by others in the towns of Dungarvan and Carrick-on-Suir and eventually the cities of Cork, Dublin, and Limerick.(Submitted on June 20, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
