Do you know of Brice ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Brice. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Brice.<1>

Our sources for Brice (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Brice other than they indicate that Brice would be found somewhere in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1893.
