OBITUARY

Alice Rhodes was born in Benton, Lafayette county, Wis., March 17, 1851,
and died October 12, 1915. She was married to Jas. Dixon at the age of 18,
and to them were born seven boys and one girl. The father and three of her
children passed from this life before the mother.

Mrs. Dixon moved to Evansville in 1896, for the purpose of educating her
children in the seminary, where she lived until about five years ago, when
her health failed, and since that time she had been living with her
children.

She was a woman of more than ordinary strength of character and high ideal
of christian life. A faithful member of the Free Methodist church, for many
years, she had been an ardent advocate of deeper things in spiritual life
and service. 

Her many friends in this community are stricken with sadness and rise up
with her children to call her memory blessed.

She died at the home of her son in Magnolia, where a short service was
conducted by the writer. And from there the remains were taken to Benton,
the place of her birth, where further services were held and interment was
made by the side of her husband, children and parents.

G. W. Endicott.
