Notes

Due to the early death of her mother, she remained at home to care for the family. Her father raised sheep, and Rhoda spun the carded wool into yarn. Some of the yarn she knit into clothing and some was woven into cloth. Rhoda studied the dressmaking trade in Boston, Massachusetts. Rhoda also taught in the county school before moving to North Dakota,

Through her girlhood, one of her duties was to help make clothing for her family. Her father raised sheep. They were sheared, the wool was worked and the winter months were spent carding wool, spinning yarn, dyeing it and making up the bolts of cloth into warm clothing. Later she went to Boston, Massachusetts and learned the dressmaking trade. She also was a teacher. She came to Casselton, North Dakota, as a bride. She married JOHN July 16, 1884 and came to North Dakota. RHODA died August 11, 1961 and was buried at Casselton, North Dakota
