His birth name on his birth record, 1895, 1920 US Census and probate records and personal sketches, state Norris as his first name. His World War I and World War II Draft Registration Cards he signed his name Anthony Norris Rhode. His marriage license states Anthony as does his cemetery stone for first name.
Norris (Norrie) Rhode, 68 (photo) of 2610 Sheridan place, retired city mail carrier, died today at the Holy Family hospital following a brief illness.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday at the Urbanek and Schlei funeral home and at 10:30 at St. Paul Catholic church, the Rev. Martin Jaeckels officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Mr. Rhode was born at Two Rivers in 1881 and later his parents moved to this city. In 1905 he married Miss Amanda Kurth of this city. He retired as city mail carrier in 1948, after nearly 43 years in the postal service. In that
span he estimated he covered approximately 70,000 miles on his routes, most of which were in the down town area.
When Mr. Rhode entered the service in 1905 there were only eight carriers, who carried the mail from the old building, now the site of the Sears store. The carrier force now totals 30 men.
In his school days, at the old north side high school, Mr. Rhode was active in football playing quarterback and end on the school elevens.
Survivors are his wife; a daughter, Mrs. Karl Pirkle of Oakland City, Ind., two sons, William of this city and Clyde of Van Nuys, Calif.; a sister, Miss Jessie Rhode, switchboard operator of the city hall; and four grandchildren.
The body may be viewed at the funeral home after Friday noon where the rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. Friday. Friends are asked to please omit flowers.
