Friends were shocked Wednesday morning to learn of the death of David Rhoades, 79, retired Culbertson farmer, which occurred Wednesday morning at the Rhoades home here, following an illness of about six weeks. Arrangements for the funeral services were not completed today, awaiting arrival of distant relatives.
While he had been ailing for a number of years it was only the past six weeks that Mr. Rhoades' condition became such that he was confined to his home, and his death was a shock to the friends of the family. Mr. Rhoades has been a resident of this community for about twenty-five years, living on a farm north of town for several years before retiring and moving to the city.

*********************
David Winfield Rhoades was born in Adair County, Missouri, February 14 of the year 1856 and departed this life, among his loved ones and a host of admiring friends at his comfortable home in Culbertson, Nebraska at the ripe old age of 79 years, two months, and two days.
At the age of four years he was left fatherless by the death of his father, who at that time was serving in the Civil War.
He remained with his mother until at the age of nine years, being full of ambition, he decided to strike out for himself, at which time he bid his mother a kind farewell and took up his abode among kind strangers, who always, without exception, because of his ambitious and straightforward manner, was graciously received and numbered his friends with his acquaintances.
He maintained this manner of living even until the very last day always firm in his belief of his ability to care for himself. Seventeen days prior to his death he was stricken with a serious bladder infection, which was being quite successfully treated by the local physician, but was stricken suddenly with a brain hemorrhage at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 17 and succumbed to the attack 30 minutes later. Much as we regret his untimely passing, we are consoled in the knowledge that he did not have to suffer long. We will miss him but in as much as he was given to us, for a time, by our Creator, in the same manner was he taken from us by the same hand.
He grew to manhood near Corydon, Indiana until the year 1886, at which time he migrated to Nebraska and settled himself to farming, at which occupation he continued until about the year 1920m, when he moved to his present location in Culbertson and remained there until his death.
In 1890 on the 27th day of April he was united in marriage to Louisa M. Nissen, at Pauline, Nebraska and to this union were born seven children, three boys and four girls, all of whom survive him, excepting the eldest son, who, like his grandfather, gave his life for the service of his country and passed away at a United States training camp in February of 1918.
His devoted wife always faithful to him and his cause, gave of her all in administering to his comfort and remained always loyal and an inspiration to her husband and family.
He leaves to mourn his departure his loving and devoted wife, Mrs. Louisa Rhoades of Culbertson; four daughters, Mrs. Molly Seybold of Trenton; Mrs. Viola Strickler of Manchester, South Dakota; Mrs. Mildred Pennell of Haigler; Mrs. Mabel McDermed of Culbertson; and two sons, George Ernest Rhoades of Culbertson; and Lester Rhoades of Menlo, Kansas. Twenty-nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren, besides a host of loyal and admiring friends.
In reverence to our departed husband and father; We, the wife and family, have tried to make your reclining years as full of happiness and contentment as has been within our humble power and we believe we have not failed.
