Sarah A. Rhosds, a widow, one of
the Oldest Holly Beach residents, died
at her home, corne Leaning and Pa.
cific avenues, on Monday, January 81,
1918, after an Illness of only three weeks.
She was about 81 years of age. Fun
eral services were held at her home
Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. ]. G. Ed wards. The undertaken
was b. G. Ingersoll. About 35 years
ago the deceased came to Holly Beach
from South Vineland with her hus-
band. the late Frances Rhoads. Mr..
Rhoads died here about fifteen years
ago, and was a farmer and carpenter.
Old residents of Holly Beach will re-
call how Mr.. and Mrs. Rhoads used to
go fishing together in the sounds. They
loved to fish and they enjoyed the
fresh fish served on their tanle. Origi-
nally the couple came to the Vineland
tract from Lynn, Mass. Although Mrs.
Rhoads had a married daughter in well
to do circumstances in Detroit,
Mich, and a son in South Vineland.
she preferred to live alone. She had
a son OF the Philadelphia police force
who died a few years ago. All these
years she lived alone in her little cot
tage amid the trees and grasses and
flowers which she loved and cared for
alone up to the time of her death. Her
home and yard was a model of neat
pess and order and greatly admired by
passers by. She was a member of the
Wild wood M. K. church and attended
the church regularly until the present
cold winter set in. One morning about
three weeks ago Mr.. Williams, who
lived nearby noticed that her window
curtain was down. He entered the
home. through a window and found Mrs.
Rhoads partly stretched on the bed,
and with evidences that she had fallen
over the coal scuttle. during the night,
probably while fixing the fire. She
was in a semi-conscious state, it being
hard TO make herself understood. She
always refused to take medicine and
used her own remedies. She was one
Of the most self-reliant persons that
ever lived in Holly Beach. One old
resident recalls when she climbed to
the top of her house and fixed the roof.
Her property was next to the Judge
summer home. A great attachment
sprung up between the Judge family
