    3. Hello,all - here is another Rhodes link for those looking for Rhodes in Ohio. Just thought I'd pass it on since I know several are interested in the name in Ohio. Sasha Stanley Madison Rhodes of Mark Center, was killed by a train running over him on the B. & O. track, and tearing his body to pieces so that he could hardly be recognized, when found on Wednesday morning. He had been in Hicksville Tuesday afternoon, with other parties and became quite intoxicated. He was quite noisy in the evening, and was about to be arrested by S. M. Boon constable, when he left for home. He was killed about four miles from Hicksville. When he started from town there were several parties with him. D. G. Huffman agent at B. & O. depot, says Rhodes had a quarrel with one of the party, below the station toward Mark Center. It appears that he was lying on the track either too drunk to get out of the way of the train, or else he was waylaid by someone. The train hands report that they did not see him on the track. At this writing no inquest has been held. He was a man of a family and about thirty years of age. >From the Defiance Democrat, Defiance, Ohio, Thursday, July 5, 1877.
