      WILLIAM I. RHODES,* a prosperous farmer of the town of Brent-
wood, Rockingham County, N. H., was born in this town February 2, 1858.
His father was William M. Rhodes, a native of Chelsea, Vt., who died Novem-
ber 15, 1912. The mother, whose maiden name was Mary E. Rowell, was
born in Brentwood. They had three children: Nellie C., who married a Mr.
Osgood; Wi1Jiam I., the subject of this sketch; and Mary, who was married,
and died leaving two children, Ruth and Clarence.
      William I. Rhodes was educated in the common and high schools of
Exeter, and at the age of fourteen years began to learn the trade of butcher,
receiving at first fifty cents per day. He continued to be thus occupied until
he was 25 years old, at which time he gave up the business and returned to
the farm in Brentwood, where he has since remained, engaged in agriculture.
He is in prosperous circumstances and is regarded as one of the reliable and
substantial citizens of the town. He is a democrat in polities and has run for
local office on a number of occasions, but as the county is strongly republi-
can, has hitherto been unsuccessful. 
      Mr. Rhodes married Miss Mary C. Fuller, of Fremont, N. H., and they
are the parents of two daughters, Nellie M. and Lillian A., the latter being
unmarried. Both were educated in the public schools of Brentwood, Nellie
also graduating from Sanborn Seminary. Nellie M. married Alfred Melbray
and has three children, Florence, Marjorie and Norman.
