RHODES - Nov. 22, 1870, at the residence of his mother, in 
Hollidaysburg, Pa. James Henry Rhodes, aged 17 years, 4 months and 2 
days.  The immediate cause of his death was dropsy, but he had an 
invalid and a sufferer from a child.  He had been absent from home 
until a comparatively few hours of his death.  He arrived at home on 
Monday afternoon and died in the forenoon of Tuesday.  He had an energy 
of purpose and liveliness of temperament that sustained his afflicted 
body to a remarkable degree, but the inevitable hour at last came 
against which no human will is sufficient.  His funeral services were 
held in the Lutheran church, on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day.    
Peace to his ashes.

The Register, Hollidaysburg, Pa., Wednesday, November 30, 1870
