Rhoda Benn was born in NY to Benjamin and Jane (Stanley) Benn. She migrated with her parents to Green Township of Hamilton Co., OH about 1813. As did her parents, Rhoda affiliated with Methodist Episcopal church early in life.
August 17, 1826, Rhoda married Benjamin Ketchum in Hamilton Co., OH. From that place, the Ketchums migrated to Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH prior to 1850. By 1860 the family had made a final relocation to Washington Township, Decatur Co., IN, purchasing a farm four miles southwest of Greensburg. Rhoda and Benjamin were charter members of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church, having transferred their membership from Greensburg's First Methodist Episcopal Church in 1866.
Rhoda and Benjamin Ketchum parented eight children, six sons and two daughters. Their son, Frederick, died during the Civil War in a "rebel" field hospital after he had been taken prisoner. Three of their other sons served in the Union army.
October 5, 1884, fifteen months after the death of Mr. Ketchum, Rhoda married a long time neighbor and friend, widower John F. Roszell. Rhoda died three years later and was laid to rest beside the man with whom she had experienced nearly sixty years of married life, Benjamin Ketchum.
