History
William Harrison Rice was born October 12, 1813 in Oswego, New York to Joseph and Sally Rice. On September 28, 1840, he married Mary Sophia Hyde. Together, they arrived in Honolulu on May 21, 1841 aboard the ship Gloucester in Ninth Company of American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions (ABCFM). The Rices were teachers by training and were stationed at Hana, Maui. In 1844, the Rice family was transferred to become the first secular teachers at Punahou School in Honolulu. In 1854, the Rices resigned from Punahou and moved to Kauai where Mr. Rice was hired to manage Lihue Plantation owned by Henry Pierce and William Little Lee.
