1907 Alice M. Rhoades v. George M. Rhoades -appeal from the Hall County Nebraska district court. "July 1, 1884 the plaintiff, Alice M. Rhoades and the defendant George M. Rhoades wee married in Adams county, Nebraska, where they then resided. One child, born June 4, 1885, is the issue of their marriage. The parties moved to Hall county, this state, in 1886, and continued to live together as husband and wife until June 1887, when Mrs. Rhoades left her husband because of his extreme cruelty, and has since justifiably lived apart from him. Shortly after the separation, defendant moved from Nebraska, and at all times since has been a nonresident of the state, and his whereabouts are unknown to plaintiff. Defendant is the owner of an undivided one-half interest in a certain quarter section of land in Hall county"

Almost has to be the Alice Rhode in 1900 Kearney, widowed, August 1861 Illinois, with Fannie, June 1885 Kansas. Alice is a carpet maker.

January 1907 "Frank, Alf and Ed Rowe and sister, Mrs. Rhoades, of Kearney, Neb., arrived Thursday to find houses."

The 1910 Magee precinct census has Edward V. Rowe, 38, next to Frank C. Rowe 31, both single, both Illinois. On the same page is William S. Rowe, 74, Ohio, married 48 years to Mary P., 70, Vermont. Mary's had six children, five living.

Also on the page is Alice Rhoades, 47, widowed, one child still living.

February 25, 1910 "Rowe Brothers are nearly through picking corn." "Mrs. Alice Rhoads has grown tired of city life and has moved back to their farm." "U.S. Rowe, who is nearly 74 years old, said the other day that he feels better now than he did ten years ago."

October 1910 "James Christensen and Mrs. Rhoades made a good start for Sunday shool (sic), but on arriving at the gate the horse positively refused to attend S.S. that day." "Frank Rowe still has expectations of a full grown ladies curling iron being discovered under his bed."

"Wanted - men and boys to haul wheat, as my crop is large this year, having received 44 bushels off 56 acres. Inquire of Ed Rowe." (this probably was sarcastic)

Wm. A. Rowe homesteaded a quarter in 20, 4N 46W in 1913 - a mile east of the McDonald girls,
Frank S. Rowe, also in 1913, a quarter touching Wm.

Edgar V. Rowe, also in 1913, homesteaded a mile east of Wm.

Alice M. RHODES homesteaded two quarters just south of Edgar's in 1913. In 1912 she was delinquent on taxes for the improvements in the northeast quarter of section 28, so that's probably where her buildings were located.

She proved-up in 1912 for one quarter in 1912, with witnesses Huldah E. Carper, Frank Woodward, John W. Weekly and Laymond R. Marshall.

Wm. S. Rowe, also in 1913, a quarter in 33 - about three miles south

March 1913 "In the assault and battery case of Alice Rhoades vs Julia Frances Christiansen and Geo. M. Rhoades, which was tried before Judge Buchanan Monday evening, the jury found for the defendants." (Julia F. Chrisensen and James M. Christensen proved-up two quarters just south of Alice's, also in 1913. Julia, a widow, proved up with Lizzie Carper as one of the witnesses)

BECAUSE THE 1910 CENSUS HAS GEORGE W. RHODES AS FATHER-IN-LAW TO BERT MCNICHOLS, AGNES MCNICHOLS HAD TO BE A RHODES.

It seems likely that the Julia F. Brown, born June 4, 1885, dying December 14, 1971, buried in Centralia Washington, is "Fannie" in the 1900 census with Alice. .

In 1910 James M. and Julie F. Christensen are in Magee precinct, with Alice E. 3, John C. 2, and Grace M. -two months.

July 1, 1910 - "James Christensen had his foot badly smashed in a runaway one day last week."

October 7, 1910 "Jim Christensen had got part way home from Old Folks Day before he counted his family. He discovered he had one of Jim Ecre's. Mr. Ecre had not missed any of his." (this must have been the Old Settlers Day)

November 1909 "George Waters is putting down a well for Mr. Weekley. When this work is finished he will go in the Rowe brothers place and put down a well for them."

March 3, 1911 "Little Alice Christensen has been on the sick list the past week."
