-Dea. David Rhodes was born in Ber-
lin, in 1885, and lived here till he died,
with the exception of three years. He
was converted and joined the Baptist
Church during the great revival of 1871,
and It's believed that for GO years nothing
but sickness prevented him from attend
ing all the meetings of the church. In
1926 he bought the farm where he died
lie said to his wife, "when we get our
farm Ga small one) paid for and buildings
all right, we shall be rich enough" and
il is believed that most OF his income
above living, went for benevolent pur-
poses. All the religious benevolent OPP
perations of the day found in him a
friend. His conversation was on religi-
GUS subjects with old and young. The
poor of his n~eighborhood always found
him ready to help. His hearing failed
many years ago, but his place in the
church was notvacant, although he could
not understand a word Of the sermon.
His judgement was good TO the last, but
bis memory failed. Never was sued or
sued a man, and never was duned for a
debt. Tried in all things to do as he
would be done by. Died on Sunday
Feb. 18th, having been sick but six days.
As was said of one of old, "his prayers
are ended" His funeral at the Baptist
Church was very largely attended.
