Forest Rhoads (7 Jan 1895 Mechanicsville, IA - Oct 1979) m 22 Nov 1923 Dorothy Hamilton (1 Jan 1899 - Feb 1986) A Topical History of Cedar County, Iowa, Volume 2 (1910) edited by Clarence Ray Aurner CHARLES E. RHOADS. A well improved and valuable farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section 36, Pioneer township, annually pays tribute in golden harvests to the care and labor which is bestowed upon it by Charles E. Rhoads, a progressive and enterprising farmer and stock-raiser. The property is situated within three and a half miles of Mechanicsville and in its neat and thrifty appearance indicates the supervision of a practical and up-to-date owner. His birth occurred on the farm where he now resides, his natal day being January 23, 1864. He obtained his education in the common schools and remained under the parental roof until he had attained his majority. Following his marriage he purchased and located upon eighty acres of his present place and gave his attention to its further cultivation and improvement. He has since erected a large, attractive and modern residence, two good barns, a double corn crib, a machine house and in fact all necessary outbuildings for the shelter of grain and stock. He uses the latest improved machinery to facilitate the work of the fields and in connection with the tilling of the soil devotes considerable attention to the raising and feeding of high grade stock. He fattens about two carloads of hogs and one carload of cattle annually and also buys steers for feeding purposes. The boundaries of his farm have been extended to include a quarter section of land by the additional purchase of a tract of eighty acres. He is a stockholder in the Mechanicsville Telephone Company and has long been numbered among the substantial, respected and representative citizens of his native county. On the 18th of March, 1894, in Linn township, Mr. Rhoads was united in marriage to Miss Ida Statler, a native of this county and a daughter of Christopher Statler. Her brother, G. C. Statler, is mentioned on another page of this work. Unto our subject and his wife have been born three sons, namely: Forest, Frank and Howard. Mr. Rhoads has always been a stanch republican in politics but has never sought nor desired office as a reward for his party fealty. The cause of education, however, has ever found in him a stanch advocate and supporter. Both he and his wife have spent their entire lives in Cedar county and enjoy an extensive acquaintance within its borders. A successful agriculturist, an exemplary citizen and a man of high moral standards, he has won the respect of all who have come in contact with him. Moving on to Ida's older brother George A Topical History of Cedar County, Iowa, Volume 2 (1910) edited by Clarence Ray Aurner GEORGE C. STATLER, The proud position which Iowa has attained as one of the foremost agricultural states of the Union is attributable to the enterprising efforts of such men as George C. Statler who, living quietly upon his farm, puts forth persistent, earnest and effective effort in making the land productive and valuable. He is today the owner of an excellent property of two hundred and forty acres situated on section 12, Linn township, and the fields respond richly in large harvests, while the pastures afford an excellent feeding ground for the stock which he raises. He was born at Linn Grove, March 11, 1866, and is a representative of one of the old pioneer families of the county. His father, Christopher Statler, was a native of Pennsylvania and accompanied his parents on their removal with their family to Ohio, at which time a settlement was made in Holmes county, where Christopher Statler spent the days of his youth and reached his majority. When a young man he continued on his westward way, reaching Linn Grove, Iowa, where he established a blacksmith shop, having previously learned the trade. At that time his shop was the only one between the Statler place and Muscatine. For a number of years he continued blacksmithing, doing much work for the early settlers of the community, and when the capital which he had saved from his earnings justified the purchase he invested in eighty acres of raw land, constituting the nucleus of the farm upon which George C. Statler now resides. The father at once began to break the sod and prepare the fields for cultivation and in the course of time bounteous harvests were gathered where the prairie grass was formerly found. He fenced the land, erected substantial buildings and developed the farm along progressive lines. In his work he prospered and his success enabled him to extend the boundaries of his place until it comprised two hundred and forty acres. Here he reared his family and spent his remaining days. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Similda Parker, was born in Ohio and in her girlhood came to Iowa with her father, Samuel Parker, who was one of the early settlers from Ohio. Christian Statler remained a resident of Cedar county until his death, which occurred in 1881 when he was fifty years of age. His wife survived him for a long period, her death occurring in December, 1909. Their family numbered three sons and two daughters: George C.; Charles, a resident of California; May, the wife of C. E. Batdorf of Berkeley, California; Ida, the wife of Charles Rhoads, a farmer of Pioneer township; and William, deceased. The home farm was the playground of George C. Statler during his youthful days and also his training school for life's practical duties. He remained with his father until the latter's death and in his youthful days supplemented his primary education, obtained in the common schools, by six months’ study in the high school at Mechanicsville. He remained upon the home place until after his father's death and then purchased the interest of the other heirs in the property. His time has been busily passed in cultivating the fields and raising and feeding cattle and hogs, his live-stock interests constituting an important factor in his business, for he ships from three to five carloads of fat stock each year and keeping the animals in good condition, he secures for them a ready sale on the market, thus materially augumenting his annual income. Mr. Statler was married in Red Oak township in 1896 to Miss Phebe Murray, a daughter of William Murray, a native of Cedar county. They began their domestic life on the old Statler farm and there Mrs. Statler passed away April 28, 1909. Politically Mr. Statler is a democrat, but the honors and emoluments of office have had no attraction for him, although he is now serving his second term as township trustee. He has likewise been officially identified with the schools for a number of years and has been a delegate to the county conventions of his party. The Masonic fraternity finds in him an exemplary representative. He belongs to the lodge and chapter of Mechanicsville and to the commandery at Anamosa, also to the Mystic Shrine at Cedar Rapids. His has been a well spent life and its salient features have gained him the favorable regard of all with whom social or business relations have brought him in contact. His reliability in business affairs is well known, and he is today the owner of one of the excellent farms of Linn township. He has rented his land, while his attention is now given to the raising and feeding of stock, and he is recognized as one of the leading stockmen of this section of the state. While his business interests are growing in volume and importance, he does not allow this to detract from his public-spirited interest in the general welfare nor prevent his cooperation in movements which he believes will prove of benefit to the community. Without dates, it's hard to speculate if Memorial# 94964718 is a stone for George Clement Statler, and whether is could be his actual grave or a cenotaph. His first wife named in the bio above does have a gravestone at the cemetery. Phebe (Murray) Statler Memorial# 94964751 Judging from census records, it appears after the death of his first wife and the above bio was written, George moved out to California, and by 1920 was married to Retta Barnes with a two year old daughter Georgia. The surname is spelled Staller on Family Search and Heritage Quest from the 1930 census reference. George died two months before the birth of his son John.
