      Obituary
      "The Altamont News" (Altamont, IL) Thursday, November 6, 1913 (page 5)

      "IN MEMORIAM"

      "After an illness of over four years, Lena Rhodes passed to that Great Beyond, where sickness and pain are not known, Wednesday, October 29, 1913."

      "Rachel Norlena, only daughter of J. D. and Nancy Rhodes, was born on the eleventh day of April, 1898. Her early pilgrimage was fifteen years, six months and eighteen days. For some time, she had been a great sufferer but bore her affliction with great patience, always being cheerful and thoughtful to all around her. To know Lena was to love her."

      "She was baptized into the Catholic Church when an infant and lived a pure, consistent Christian life. Just a few weeks before her death, she sent for Father Barrette, and had a long talk with him, seeming to feel that her time was nearing the close and wishing to be prepared."

      She leaves father, mother, one brother, a grand father (sic), many relatives and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Two brothers, Leo and Cecil, preceded her in childhood to the better world."

      "The entire community joins in extending sympathy to the stricken family."
