Emmett Index, March 24, 1904
L. N. Rhodes, one of the oldest prospectors of the Pearl district, died Friday 
at his home at Box Springs, near Pearl. He was 87 years old. Rhodes' health 
has been failing all winter. About three weeks ago he returned from Missouri 
where he had been spending the winter. About an hour before his death, Rhodes 
had engaged in a heated argument with a sheepherder and it affected his heart. 
His only relative in the vicinty is a grandson, James Lee, who lived with 
Rhodes. The funeral took place Sunday in Pearl. Rhodes was one of the original 
owners of the Lincoln mine. He sold out about two years ago.

Additional Comments:
The grave marker reads: Lewis N. Rhoades, b. 21 Nov. 1821, d. 18 March 
1904. "At Rest" on front, "an honest man - the noblest work of God" on back 
with the anchor and chain symbol
