They are the parents of Leonora, John, Lyman, Cora, Hazard King, Mary and Elizabeth Randall. Lyman was killed in 1888, the victim of a murder. Following his son's death Rhodes appeared mentally unstable and the family worried often that he would kill himself. He had, in fact, by that time lost all but two of his sons, his daughters having all died in their childhoods. When on the morning of 20 Mar 1896 he tried to get his son, Hazard, to allow him to go hunting for jackrabbits and was discouraged from it he shot his son in the chest. When his wife came to the door to see what the noise was about he pointed the gun at her. Another son had to wrest the gun away. Rhodes was arrested and charged with murder. His wife warned the Sheriff of the risk of suicide and the Sheriff had a guard with Rhodes through much of his time in jail. But on the morning of 22 March the guard stepped away for about 15 minutes to get his breakfast and when he returned he saw that Rhodes had turned himself around in bed and when he pulled the covers back he saw that he was black in the face. He went for help. Further examination revealed that Rhodes had used a blanket to strangle himself. He was buried apart from his family and none of them attended his funeral.
