Cale Young Rice (18721943) was an American poet and dramatist, born in Dixon, Kentucky to Laban Marchbanks Rice, a Confederate veteran and tobacco merchant, and his wife Martha Lacy. He was a younger brother of Laban Lacy Rice, a noted educator. Cale Rice grew up in Evansville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky. He took degrees at Harvard in 1895 and 1896. Rice was married to the popular author Alice Hegan Rice; they worked together on several books. The marriage was childless, and Cale committed suicide at his home in Louisville a year after her death due to his sorrow at losing her. Rice's birthplace in Dixon is designated by Kentucky State Historical Marker 1508.
