Death of James Madison Rhodes ~ husband of Jennie (Noblet) Rhodes
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, July 25, 1907
On last Friday afternoon, JAMES M. RHODES, who was a teamster in Chariton, was hauling cinders from the light plant, and went to a well across the street to get a drink of water. On returning he threw up his hands, made an
ejaculation, fell and in a moment expired. He had previously been troubled with a heart affection, and it is believed the intense heat brought on the fatal attack.

Palmer; interment took place in the country cemetery, nine miles east of town.
