Charles Rhodes, an enterprising farmer of Carlisle township, after a brief illness o f five days, died at him home March 31, 1899. Services were held at the home and the remains interred at the Blackwell cemetery.
He was born in the state of Ohio, Hardin County, June 18, 1852, hence at his death he was 46 years, 9 months 2 days of age. In 1877 he was married to Miss Hannah Goodin, who after 22 years of wedded life is left to mourn his seemingly untimely death, also the mother, one brother and three sisters are yet among the living. Brother Rhodes as a son was a kind and obedient, devoted as a husband and highly esteemed as a neighbor and citizen and besides all, a man of God. Having converted in 1872, at 20 years of age, at that time united with the M. E. church and has been as we believe, faithful to the end, hence, shall receive the “crow of life.”
