JOSEPH W. RHODES, farmer, Lebanon; was born in Highland Co., Ohio, Nov. 20, 1817; he is the son of Gustavus and Margaretta (Eddenfield) Rhodes, natives of Fredericksburg, Va. Our subject was educated in Highland County; he learned, and for some time followed, the trade of hatter; since his residence in Warren County he has for thirteen years been engaged in running a hack from Lebanon to Cincinnati and Sharon. He was married, Nov. 23, 1848, to Martha A. Roosa, whose father was born in Orange Co., N. Y., in 1791, and emigrated to Ohio when 11 years of age, settling near Montgomery, Hamilton Co., where his father had purchased a farm; he was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was married in 1818 to Elizabeth Daniels, of Clermont County, by whom he had five children; he lived at Montgomery until 1827, when he moved to Deerfield, and there died in 1846, his wife having died in 1833. Mrs. Rhodes has in her possession a Psalm Book, or Bible, brought from Holland by her great-grandfather, Abraham Roosa. Mr. Rhodes, by his marriage, has had the following children: J. A. (deceased), Charles M. (deceased), Maggie (deceased), Emma and Eunice. Mr. Rhodes owns and occupies a nice farm adjoining Lebanon. |
