RHODES, JASPER - Died at his home in Dike Sunday. He was found at the barn in
a semi-conscious condition. Dr. Harrington, of Dike, was summoned and Uncle
Jasper rallied, then began to sink into a stupor. His tired spirit taking its
flight as quietly as a child going to sleep. The burial occurred at the City
cemetery, conducted by Eld. Boss of Mahoney. He leaves his wife, four sons and
one daughter, Newton Rhodes of Old Tarrant, Charlie Rhodes of Chillicothe,
John A. Rhodes of this city, Freddie Rhodes of Dike and Mrs. L.A. Miller of
Abilene. Jasper Rhodes was born in Pike county, Indiana, in 1847. He was
married in early life to Sarah Argenbright, and they moved to Texas in the
early seventies, locating near Birthright, Hopkins county, later moving to
Dike where they have resided ever since. (Sulphur Springs Gazette, Mar. 10,
1916)
