Looking for other descendants of John Chester ("J.C.") RHODES and Margaret SALZ RHODES, my ggparents. John was a salesman for the Red Wing Company. He was born May 1856 in PA, and Margaret came from Germany (or Austria) in 1861 at the age of about 4. I believe they met in the Waterloo, IA area and probably moved to Red Oak after 1880, possibly as late as 1895. The lived for awhile in town in Red Oak, then on a farm outside of town. One of their grandsons told me that J.C. and Margaret are buried in Fort Dodge. They raised at least six children in Red Oak. The children were: Agnes (a.k.a. "Dot") RHODES REDMOND, b. Nov. 1884, IA Arthur RHODES, b. Nov. 1884, IA Leo RHODES, b. Nov. 1891, Dakota Territory Marie RHODES LEHR CARTER, b. Nov. 1893, Dakota Territory (Yankton) Merrill RHODES, b. July. 1896, Dakota Territory Margaret RHODES HEATH DOHE, b. July. 1897, IA There was also a daughter, Regina, who died at the age of 8 months. I have lots of well-preserved old pictures (from studios in Fort Dodge, Manson, and Waterloo), and some mementos from their daughter Margaret, who graduated in Red Oak, married, and moved to Waterloo and later to Omaha. Please contact me if you are related to or researching these people or their relatives or spouses, or if you have access to any information about them. Thanks, Kevin in Missouri kkelly@trib.net
