Mr. Rhea was born in Wayne County, Tenn., Dec. 9, 1831 and came to Texas and Williamson County in 1859. He was married to Miss Martha Campbell a few years after his arrival. Of this union nine children -- Six males and three females survive. The daughters are Mrs. W. T. Starnes and Mrs. Henry Anderson of Georgetown and Mrs. John Bucknel of Sterling County. During the Civil War he was employed in a Confederate tan yard and thus was saved from active service in the field. For the most of his life he was a farmer and was regarded as one of our best citizens. Ever since his early manhood he was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and he lived according to its tenets. In addition to his children he left a sister, Mrs. Wm.
