Never been there but it's a great idea - going to have to try to go there sometime.

I didn't know his legal name was "John". Very interesting

I just visited the Hiram, OH wiki page. It lists Jack Trice as a former resident with a short write up of his story. It does seem to be incorrect in that it says the game he died in was played at Iowa State. I thought the game was at Minnesota and he died on the train trip back to Ames.

It was in Minnesota and he rode the train back to Ames and died in Ames overnight or the next day if I remember correctly.

Couple of years ago the wife and I were driving thru Ohio and stopped there and left some cardinal/gold at the gravesite.

It didn't look like there was much help on the link in finding the grave in the cemetary. Was it hard to find? I'm not sure I could convince Mrs. Velo to stop if I couldn't assure her that I knew exactly where it was.

Didn't one of his descendants visit the campus in recent years? I remember something about that...

I thought he had a descendant that went to school at ISU in the early 2000's. Wasn't his name George Trice?

If any of you decide to venture to Hiram, here's a rough location of where Jacks headstone is. I was there a few weeks ago and spent about 25 minutes wandering around trying to find it. Figured this could help anyone.
