Former Vidalia Mayor Dies

March 7-- A former Vidalia mayor died over the weekend. Eighty-two-year old
Norwood "Dusty" Rhodes' family moved to Vidalia in 1927. After World War II , he
returned home and joined his father in the electrical contracting business. In
1958, he was elected to city council and served for eight years. Eight years
later, in 1974, he was elected mayor . One of the highlights of his 12 years as
mayor was moving city hall to its current location on Jackson Street. During a
radio interview six years ago, he said his three terms as mayor were one of the
highlights of his life and "most gratifying." He died of cancer at his home in
Vidalia Saturday night. His funeral is Tuesday morning at eleven at the Ronnie
L. Stewart Funeral Home Chapel in Vidalia.
