I thought if she lived to be 90 years of age that she would rate some sort of newspaper article when she died. No luck on that...so just for drill I put in search for Nancy Rhodes in 1900-1910 in California and Hawaii. I found her obituary from August 30, 1904 in the Hawaiian Gazette. I can send you an image of the newspaper page. Do you want it sent to your hotmail address? --Tony
