ERNEST RHOADES DIES
Former Ice Plant Employee and Springhill Farmer Succumbed at Winfield Yesterday.
Ernest Rhoades, an engineer at the old Shepard & Chain ice plant here, now the Southwest Utility company's plant, for several years before moving to a farm in the Springhill vicinity, northwest of Coffeyville, died yesterday afternoon at 12:45 o'clock at his home at Winfield, where he moved from Howard eighteen months ago. The Rhoades family moved from the Coffeyville vicinity to Howard about seven years ago.
Mr. Rhoades had been in failing health for several years and had been confined to his bed for some time. His death was attributed to a heart ailment. He was engaged in the transfer business at Howard and his period of ill-health began there, when he cranked his truck, which happened to be in gear, and was caught between the truck and a building and badly injured. He drove a delivery truck for a Wichita paper for a while after moving to Winfield.
Besides his wife, who was The Journal's Springhill correspondent for several years, Mr. Rhoades is survived by two daughters, Josephine and Clara of the home and a son, D. E. Rhoades, Jr., of Wichita. He was aged 51 years, 4 months and 26 days.
He held membership in the Masonic lodge in Coffeyville and in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Howard.
Al Livingston, 120 Grace Boulevard, and Mrs. R. S. Brown, 10 New Street, brother-in law and niece, respectively, of Mr. Rhoades and Mrs. Livingston went to Winfield this morning to attend services this afternoon.
