The Rice house in the extreme eastern end of Watts Valley was built by John Wesley Rice about 1881. Charles Leroy Rice (1878-1973), second child of John and Rebecca Jane Rice, lovingly describes how the home came to be built: "Our first home was a log cabin. My oldest sister, Florence [b. 1876], myself, and sister Alice [b. 1880] was born in it. Then we built a new home out of lumber. My other darling sisters and brothers were born in it. They were Sadie [b. 1882], Wesley, Jessie and Marvin."
