Former Steamship Man Also Was Member of City Council

Samuel Davis Rhodes, a native of Elizabeth City, N.C., but a resident of 
Norfolk for the past 70 years, died yesterday morning in Lakeland, Fla., 
after an illness of a year.  He was 92 years old.  Mr. Rhodes was the son of 
the late Capt. Jesse McCoy Rhodes, of the Confederate States Navy, and Sarah 
Davis Rhodes.  He was connected with the Old Dominion Steamship Company (now 
Eastern Steamship Company) for 42 years, advancing from assistant cashier to 
agent. Upon his retirement 30 years ago he was presented a silver loving 
cup.
The deceased took an active part in civic affairs and was at one time a 
member of the Norfolk City Council.  He was a member of the Freemason Street 
Baptist Church and the Men's Bible Class.  He also belonged to Pocahontas 
Council, Royal Arcanum, in which he held office until his recent illness.
He married Miss Allie Halstead, of Norfolk, who died 11 years ago.  
Surviving him are three daughters, Mrs. Leigh Gordon Sykes, of Norfolk; Miss 
Maude Halstead Rhodes and Mrs. James R. Thompson, formerly Miss Nina 
Livermore Rhodes, at one time a member of the news staff of the Norfolk 
Virginian-Pilot, both of Lakeland, Fla., and one brother, Capt. Jesse T. 
Rhodes, of Plymouth, N.C.
The body will arrive here Friday and will be taken to the Oliver Funeral 
Home pending funeral.
