General Notes: Husband - Irwin Rhodes

---

He attended the schools of Mahoningtown borough, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, until he was fourteen years of age, when he began work in a quarry, where he remained four or five years. He then secured a position in Wallace's mill, where he was employed two years, and for the five succeeding
years worked in Raney's mill. After a short time with his father in carpentry work, he started out on his railroad career, beginning at the bottom of the ladder as a section-hand, and was then on a gravel-train for a year. He next became a brakeman, and after three years became a fireman, serving in that capacity for two years and three months, and was appointed an engineer Dec. 6, 1888.
He and his wife were members of the M. E. Church of Mahoningtown. Mr. Rhodes was a Republican in politics, and was a member of the Volunteer Relief Corps of the Pennsylvania Co.'s lines.
