About Rhoda M Tharp

I have seen her middle name as both Mildred and Millie. My guess is that it's Mildred and Millie is a nickname.

Her second marriage was to MELVIN GLENN RASH, b. April 25, 1898 Bangor Twp, Iowa; d. April 1971 Wichita, Sedgewick Co., Ks.
No children together, but she had some by previous marriage:
On Dec 25 1909 in Bourbon County, Kansas married 1st husband Arthur Franklin Kelley, 1888-1983.

Rhoda & Glenn are buried in Wichita Park Cemetery, Wichita, Ks.
