Narrative

Note: Researching Joseph Absolem Rhoads

His death record from 1915 notes him as single. Because of the relatively common nature of the name "Joseph Rhoads," I have had some difficulty confirming records between the 1870 US Census listing (in his father's household in Pleasant Twp, Logan Cty, Ohio) and his death record (which names his parents) as pertaining to him. I have found no obvious marriage record, and nothing noting him as the father of a bride or groom which I can definitively state is him. There is a listing in the 1880 US Census in nearby Bloomfield Twp, Logan Cty, Ohio, placing a Joseph A. Rhoads as an unmarried man in a household with a James W. and Viola A. Melvin. Later, in the 1900 US Census, there is a Joseph A. Rhoades listed as an unmarried boarder in the Columbus, Franklin Cty, Ohio household of Frank and Minnie Lott. The 1870 listing gives his year of birth as 1852, while the 1900 listing reports it as "Dec 1852," and both of them give his place of birth as Pennsylvania.

I believe these two records apply to our Joseph Absolem, but I do not have as much certainty as I would like. Additionally, I have not yet found an indexed listing for him in the 1910 US Census. I tend to believe he never married, and died without fathering any children.
