Printed in The Pilot, January 31, 1917
The funeral of D.M. Rhoades, whose death occurred Sunday afternoon of hardening of the arteries, was held at the Christian church at 2 o’clock last Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Harding of Omaha officiating.
Mr. Rhoades was born in Missouri where the city of St. Joseph now stands, Aug. 28th, 1840, and was therefore past 76 years of age. At the age of 17 he was married to Armilda Bovee near Rockport, Mo., and had he lived until Feb. 8th, they would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. In March 1880 they moved to this city and Mr. Rhoades engaged in the brick making business, which he followed until eleven years ago.
He leaves a widow 75 years old; two sons, James A. and John A., the eldest and the youngest of the family, of this city; and three daughters, Mrs. Lucy Burcham, of this city, Mrs. Jennie Oliver, of Omaha, and Mrs. Ida Barnhart, of Millboro, S.D., all of whom were present for the funeral. Also a niece and a nephew from Council Bluffs, Mrs. Mary Avery and George Adams. Mr. Rhoades was a faithful and earnest member of the Christian church and was a good husband, a good father and a good citizen whom we will all miss, though the faithful companion of fifty-nine years will miss him most.
