DEATH COMES SUDDENLY TO CAPT. H.M. RHODUS
Died Thursday Morning While Seated in Chair at His Home on Kaufman Street
Capt. H.M. Rhodus, a pioneer of Waxahachie, died suddenly about 9 o'clock Thursday morning while sitting in a chair at his home on Kaufman street. Death is attributed to heart disease.
Capt. Rhodus was a native of Mississippi and was 72 years old. He came to Waxahachie in 1862 and joined the Nineteenth Texas Cavalry, Parsons' Brigade, on April 12th of that year. He served with the regiment until May 23, 1865. In August of that year he went to St. Louis and engaged in business with a brother. He returned to Waxahachie in 1877, and in 1879 he was admitted to the bar. In 1889, he was elected mayor of Waxahachie and held that position two years. Three or four years ago he removed to Austin, but came back to Waxahachie a year or two later.
He is survived by a widow and two children, a daughter and son, who have the sympathy of many friends.
Funeral services were held at the residence Saturday morning at 10:30 under the auspices of the Masons of which lodge he had been a member for many years. The interment was made at the city cemetery.
