==Biography==
Rice-Wray was born in Missouri and educated in both public and private schools. He was a licensed teacher at the age of 16. At the outbreak of World War I, he worked in Washington, D.C., to "straighten out the inefficiencies of the American Express Railway Company in the District of Columbia, which was a center of supply distribution." He moved to Los Angeles in 1920〔(Los Angeles Public Library reference file )〕 and became president of the Greater Slauson-Avenue Improvement Association.〔("Important Issues and Candidacies Before the Voters," ''Los Angeles Times,'' June 5, 1927, page B-1 )〕
He was married. His first wife died at the age of 53 on January 28, 1929.〔("Rites for Wife of Rice-Wray Set Tomorrow," ''Los Angeles Times,'' January 30, 1929, page A-9 )〕 His second wife, Nellie, obtained a divorce in November 1935 on the grounds that her husband struck her and refused to support her properly and that he was abusive and drank to excess.〔("Freedom Granted to Mrs. Rice-Wray," ''Los Angeles Times,'' November 8, 1935, page A-2 )〕
His mother, Ellah Agnes Rice-Wray, died on June 18, 1938, leaving her children, Lester, J. Allen, Theron C. and Ella Rice-Wray and Gwendolynne Benn.〔(Obituaries, ''Los Angeles Times,'' June 22, 1938, page A-18 )〕
