Notes
General:
Harvey Rice, LL. D., was born at Conway, Massachusetts, June 11th, 1800. When seventeen years old he requested his father, who was a farmer, to give him his freedom and allow him to acquire a liberal education as best he could by his own efforts. This he achieved, and graduated from Williams College, in 1824, with honor. From college he went directly to Cleveland, Ohio. When he landed at Cleveland he owned nothing but the clothes he wore and three dollars in his pocket. At that time Cleveland contained but four hundred inhabitants. He soon became employed in teaching a classical school in the old academy on St. Clair Street, and about the same time commenced the study of law, under the direction of Reuben Wood. At the expiration of two years he was admitted to practice, and entered into co partnership with his former instructor, which continued until Mr. Wood was elected to the bench. In 1829 he was elected justice of the peace, and in 1830 elected to represent his district in the State Legislature. Soon after, without solicitation on his part, he was appointed an agent for the sale of the Western Reserve school-lands, a tract of fifty six thousand acres, situated in the Virginia Military District. He opened a land office at Millersburg, in Holmes County, for the sales, and in the course of three years sold all the lands. In 1833 he returned to Cleveland, and was appointed Clerk of the Common Pleas and Supreme Courts, an office in which he faithfully served for seven years, and in 1834 and 1836 was nominated, by the Democratic Convention as a candidate for Congress, and received the united support of the party, though without expectation of success, as the Democrats were largely in the minority. He was the first Democrat ever sent to the Legislature from Cuyahoga County, and while serving in that body was considered one of its ablest and most influential members. In the fall of 1851 he was put in nomination for the State Senate, and was elected by a majority exceeding seven hundred votes. The services which he rendered the State in the founding of a new system for the public schools, and in the promotion of her educational interests, earned for him the honor of having been the father of the present school system of Ohio. In 1867, wishing to express his regard for the cause of missions, as well as for the college where he graduated, he planned and erected, at his own expense, and with the approval of the college authorities, a beautiful marble monument in Missions Park, at Williamstown, Massachusetts, commemorative of American foreign missions, originated by Samuel J. Mills, an early graduate of the college. At one of the out-door prayer-meetings, in which Mills and others were wont to engage, a storm arose and drove the party to seek shelter under a hay-stack, and while thus protected from the fury of the elements, Mr. Mills suggested the idea of a mission to foreign heathen lands as being a religious duty. In this noble and philanthropic thought his associates all concurred, and there, while at the haystack, consecrated themselves in solemn prayer to the great work. From this circumstance originated American foreign missions. The monument is erected on the spot where the hay-stack stood, is twelve feet in height, and surmounted with a marble globe three feet in diameter, and cut in map lines. The face of the monument has the inscription, "The Field is the World," followed with a hay-stack, sculptured in bas-relief, and the names of the five young men who held the prayer-meeting, and the date, 1806. The monument was dedicated July 28th, 1867, at the maple grove in the park, and by special request Mr. Rice delivered the dedicatory address, which was received with a high degree of satisfaction, and afterward published with the other proceedings, in pamphlet form. In 1869 he visited California, and while there indulged in a newspaper correspondence, which has been collected and published in a volume, entitled " Letters from the Pacific Slope, or First Impressions." In 1871 Williams College conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. In his literary career he was widely known as the author of "Mount Vernon and Other Poems." His natural abilities are of a high order. His mind is thoroughly disciplined and cultivated, and for the comparatively short time he has practiced as a lawyer he has obtained an enviable reputation for legal ability, discriminating judgment, and gentlemanly deportment. He is well known as an able contributor to many of the best periodicals of the day, and is a graceful and vigorous writer. In 1875 another volume of which he was the author was published, under the title of " Nature and Culture," and in 1878 he published a volume of "Select Poems." In 1883 he published an illustrated edition of his "Select Poems," and also a work entitled " Pioneers of the Western Reserve." He was twice married-first in 1828, and afterward in 1840.
