Prall - Rhodes Mystery

The Rhodes family pops up again in the mystery category. One of the questions surrouding Isaac Rittenhouse Prall & Ann Bathia Rhodes is the exact date of death for the couple. A brief bio for one of their sons stated that Ann died in 1865 & Isaac in 1880.

Isaac sold his York Co., PA property in April of 1865. Ann was not mentioned in the deeds, so most likely died in early 1865. Isaac made the trip from Pennsylvania to Ohio & was residing with daughter Anne Elizabeth Kohler in Clinton Co., OH in 1870. Isaac did not appear in the 1880 census, nor was he located in the mortality schedule. Did he die in Clinton Co.? Putnam Co., OH where the Kohlers lived in 1880? Perhaps he decided to return home to York Co.?

To date - an unsolved mystery!
