His parents moved from Tennessee and settled in Mercer County, MO., when he was a child two years of age, making the journey with an ox team.Here he grew to manhood and where he spent the greater part of his life and found much pleasure in visiting the old church yard at Goshen where many of his hear one lay at rest. His education was manily that of the rural schoold, but later he attended college at Camden Point, MO. For a number of years he followeded the profession of teaching, was a good worker in the church and the community, always lending his servicess to the sick and to those whom he could assist. He was next to the last of eleven children and the last of the family to succumb to death. He was united in marriage to Miss Miranda Melton of Mercer County, Missouri, Jan 13, 1853. To this union were born seven boys and three girls, five of whom grew, to manhood. Only two are left Eva Rhea of Leon,IA., and W.J. Rhea of Hobart, OK., with six grand children and many relatives and friends, to pay the last respects to one who will be missed in our midst. He was united with the church of Christ in early life and during his long and eventful life his faith in Christ as the son of God and his Savior never faltered. He was upright in his dealings with his fellowmen, sociable, kindly disposed toward all and generous hearted even to a fault. The wife and mother departed this life Sept. 26th 1886. The home was kept for two years, them came the giving up of the home, he making his home with his son James, in Grundy county, later he spent some time at the home of W.J., his son of Hobart, OKLa., and the last ten years with his daughter in Leon,Iowa, where the final summons came. During his long life he was blessed with a strong and healthy body and mind, knew much of the Bible and its teaching. Failing in health the past year, the much dreaded disease pneumonia cliamed his body as a victum,when his soul took its flight. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday morning at 10 A.M., conducted by Rev. P. H. Green. A quartette composed of Dr. Rowell, Ralph McGinnis and wife, Mrs. J.A. Caster, Mrs Bert Woodward pianst, sang the old familiar hymns.
