General Notes: Husband - J. Wesley Rhodes

---

After completing a district school education in the schools of Neshannock township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, he turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, and farming, in connection with mining coal, was his chief occupation throughout the greater part of his life. He lived, beginning in 1832, on the farm which was purchased by his father, until 1887, when he moved to property near, but still owning the farm. On this farm there was a valuable quarry, leased to the Atlantic Iron & Steel Co., and extensively worked by them, the product being used as a flux in the manufacture of steel. Mr. Rhodes later lived in partial retirement, not paying so much attention to the agricultural operations on his farm as in earlier years, but rather living in peace and plenty, enjoying the fruits of many years of toil.
He was a Republican in his political affiliations, and was honored with a place on the school board. The family were regular attendants of the United Presbyterian Church and different members of the household held responsible positions in the various church societies.
