General Notes: Husband - Joshua Rhodes

---

When twelve years old he entered a grocery-store, and in 1839 he opened a similar establishment on his own account, but in following year was burned out. After a short trip to New Orleans, Louisianna, he returned to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the grocery trade with Jones & Gould. In 1843, he embarked in the confectionery trade, and soon after established the largest cracker-factory then in Pittsburgh, which he sold. He then engaged in the brewing business, as head of the firm of Rhodes & Verner, who purchased the brewery of Tracy & Wilkinson. After building a large brewery and warehouse, Mr. Rhodes bought the interest of his partner, and afterward sold to Darlington & Co. He then leased a pipemill on Hare's Island, which he afterward bought; then formed a stock company with a capital of $1,200,000, of which he was made president, and purchased the Creston Tool-works at Soho, which later became the plant of the Pennsylvania Tube company. Mr. Rhodes, with others, secured the charter of the Union and Point bridges, and the Penn incline, and was president of the companies which operated them. He was a director in the Citizens' and Transverse Street railways, and in the Citizens' and Pittsburgh Traction companies; he was also a stockholder in the Pennsylvania Construction company. He was made a director in the Central National Bank, at its organization, and was later vice-president.
He was a whig and republican. He and his wife attended the Presbyterian Church.
