Additional Comments: 
Sara Vice was a daughter of James and Georgia Riddle, as were her sisters. Her 
sister Nannie Whaley was my great great grandmother. I am looking for other 
descendants of James and Georgia Riddle, ESPECIALLY that of Iva Starks of 
Paducah. 
Sara married Alf Vice after 1930 when she was more than 60 years old. She never 
had any children.
