  OBITUARY. MR JAMES RHODES. There passed away early yesterday morning a very highly respected Akaroa resident in the person of Mr James Rhodes, who died after an illness extending over some years, and although he was able to get out and about, his health, has troubled him considerably for several years. He was born in Flea Bay in 1848, being the eldest son of the late Mr Israel Rhodes, and was, therefore, one of the first white people born on Banks Peninsula. His father acted as manager of the Flea Bay property for Mr Geo. Rhodes, and later he and his sons acquired the property. Mr Jas. Rhodes was educated in Flea Bay, and with his brothers, worked very hard for many years, as all the old settlers who made good were obliged to do. He took an interest in all local matters, and was for a term a member of the Akaroa and Wainui Road Board; but the isolated position of Flea Bay made it hard for him to take an active part in local body work. He married twice, his first wife being Miss Rodrigues. Later he married Miss Annie Haylock, daughter of Mr Geo. Haylock. He leaves a widow and eight children, three sons and five daughters: Messrs T. Rhodes, of Christchurch, Herbert Rhodes, of Akaroa, and Victor Rhodes, of Chatham' Islands, and Mesdames A. R. Haylock, Lai Haylock, Johnson (West Coast), E. May, and Miss Ivy Haylock. Mr Rhodes was one of the finest types of old settlers, industrious, cheerful, and always thoroughly fair in his dealings, and he fully merited the general esteem in which he was held.
