T. C. Bailiff received a personal message to go to Olive Branch Church to conduct the funeral of Grandma McDanold (sp) of whom the following sketch: Rhoda Quakenbush was born in Randolph county, North Carolina September 21, 1809. When sixteen years old she came with her mother and brother to Orange County, Indiana. In 1829 she was married to James McDanold. The couple soon moved to Park County, Indiana, where they resided until 1848, when they came to Clark County, Illinois. The husband died in 1859, leaving our subject to care for a family of children, which she did faithfully and well. For the past seven years, Mrs. McDanold has been sorely afflicted but she ever bore her suffering with true Christian fortitude. When death came to her relief, she was ready for the summons as she had lived the life of a faithful Christian. She left five sons and a daughter and many friends to mourn her death, but they have the assurance that if they live as did she, they will be permitted to meet her where partings are no more.
