Rhoda Walton was born on 14 September 1843 in Deputy, Jefferson Co., Indiana and married James D. Rowlison on 22 November 1865 upon his return from the Civil War - 82nd Indiana Infantry.Rhoda had eleven children over 22 years, August 1866 thru November 1888. James died in August 1890 in Hoxie, Kansas and before Ethel was two years old. He was buried in Hoxie
In addition to the two-year-old Ethel, Rhoda had children the ages of 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, and 16 who were likely at home. Older children, Minnie and George were 18 and 20 when James died and I'm not sure they were in Hoxie. Maggie was 22 and had stayed in Edgar missing the last Rowlison move. Dolph, the oldest of the 11 was 24 when his father died.
Rhoda died in Clay Center, Nebraska on 24 March 1932 and was buried in the Ong, Nebraska cemetery. Rhoda had been living with her youngest daughter Ethel Oakley and her family - husband Roy and daughter LoRee.
