Rhoda Caroline, fourth daughter of Howard and Eleanor (Lyon) Carter (son of Isaac G. Carter, son of Isaac P. Carter), was born Nov. 6, 1858, Matthews, Grant county, Indiana; died 19 .
In the seventh year of her age she with her parents and family moved in wagons, camping out by the way, to Henry county, Iowa, where they settled on a piece of raw prairie land in a small house and commenced to make a farm by hiring forty acres broken out. The next year they put up a nice cottage and moved into it in September, 1866. Here she grew to womanhood, in good society with plenty of the comforts of life. They had good schools about seven months in the year where all the necessary branches were taught to both boys and girls alike and at a suitable age she attended a select school at Mt. Pleasant and qualified herself for teaching. She taught several terms in the public schools of the county to the satisfaction of the school board.
She and her younger sisters had charge of the housework while their older sister, Nancy, went to Mt. Pleasant to school to qualify herself for teaching and while she was away teaching. This work was done to the satisfaction of her brothers and sisters, her father often washing the supper dishes that they might attend the literary society.
Frank Carroll Tallman, second son of Benjamin and Mary Jane(Carroll)Tallman, was born July 17,1860, Henry county,Ia. ; died 19
Mr. and Mrs. Tallman were of German descent. Frank grew to manhood in the neighborhood where he was born, helping his father on the farm and attending the country schools, church and Sunday school, where his future wife did and so were acquainted in their youth.
Rhoda Caroline Carter and Frank Carroll Tallman were married Oct. 20, 1881, Mt. Pleasant, Henry county, Iowa. To this union six children were born:
Pearl sic (Paul) Carter, August 22, 1882, Henry county. Iowa; died 19
Ralph Benjamin, Nov. 1, 1884, Osborne county, Kansas; died 19
Lucy Ethel, Oct. 5, 1887, Downs, Osborne county, Kansas; died 19
Glenn Howard, November 11, 1889, Henry county, Iowa; died 19
Mabel Eleanor, September 26, 1896, Henry county, Iowa; died 19
Versa Mae, May 5, 1898, Henry county, lowa; died 19
Soon after their majriage they went Burlington and he went work for the railroad as car cleaner, night work, but not liking he business they came back to Henry county and rented a farm and engaged in farming. The fall of 1882 they went to Osborne county, Kansas, and engaged in farming, remaining there five years with rather poor success, losing their entire crop of small grain and most of their corn by a hail storm the last of June, 1888.
Tired and disgusted with Kansas, she came back to Iowa in September on a visit, while he in company with others went west as far as Washington looking for a place to make a home, but not finding any that suited him he came back to Iowa, arriving in December and the next spring went to farming with varied success. The winter of 1901 he traded for an interest in a livery barn in New London and moved a part of their household goods there, leaving part in the house they moved from which caught fire and burned up all of their goods as well as those of the family that lived in the house, the latter escaping in their night clothes. This was a very serious loss to them, they then having a family of six children. The livery business did not prove a success in his hands, so they sold out and went to Mt. Pleasant in 1902, getting a house just outside the corporation where they now live. He works at the carpenter trade in the summer and in winter works with a bridge gang on the railroad. The two oldest boys have good places to work, the younger ones going to school and working what they can during vacation. They are making a good living.
She was raised by Methodist parents and early in life took a decided stand in the cause of the Master and has done what she could in His service. While at New London she thought best to unite with the Disciple church, to which she now belongs and is earnestly engaged in church and Sunday school work. Her daughter has also joined the church and her mother is pleased to have her engaged in the good work for others. She is a very modest woman who sees the work that ought to be done and regrets her inability to do it both in the family and church, yet she knows that the Master is with her and trusts he will not let her feeble efforts fail. He was raised by Christian parents, but never made any profession of religion.
