Obituary: "West Bristol - Last Wednesday we were led to reflect upon the uncertainty of human life as well as to pay a tribute of respect to a kind neighbor. Joseph RHEA was born in Bell township, Westmoreland county, Pa., Dec 26th 1828 and died at his home in West Bristol, Nov. 3rd 1890, having resided in Bristol 25 years. He was married to Miss Louisa Wortman March 3rd 1852. She was called to the christian's home two years ago. They had seven children and one adopted son. For many years he had been a faithful member of the Congregational church and in all the varied relations of life he was faithful and true. Some years ago that insidious disease, consumption, marked him for its victim and slowly but surely pursued his footsteps into a fatal termination. As it is ever to the christian his end was peace and at the call of the Master he joyfully bid farewell to earth and went to join his companion on the evergree shore."
