      Uncle Lon retired from working for the City of Huntington.
      He was the son of Isom Clark Rhodes and Mary Jane Wolfe.
      He and Aunt Odie lived out the later part of their lives in Ohio near their children.
      Uncle Lon and Aunt Odie were truely good people. They lent a helping hand to so many.
      This world would be a lot better off if there were more people like them. They both lived a Godly life and I know they are reaping the rewards of the seeds of goodness they sewed while they were here with us.
      Their children: Richard P., Leota Fay, Dorothy, and, Clinton. Their infant, stillborn son rests beside Uncle Lon and Aunt Odie in the Woodmere Cemetery.
