Henry Frederick C. Rhodes was born to Sophie Maria Friederike Roloff on 5 May 1863 in Germany. My cousin George Robert Elwell said that Henry's father's name was John Von Heinrich Rhodes. I am not sure where he found that name, but I'll put it down for now. Henry was raised by his mother Sophia and his step-father, Frederick Zulck, who was Henry's future wife's mother's twin brother. Talk about complicated!

Henry worked for the railroad as a railroad car repairer and master carpenter. Henry was at work when he was struck in abdomen by the end of heavy timber that was on a train car. He ended up getting peritonitis from a ruptured gall bladder. He died 6 days after the accident at the age of 49.
