Walton F. Rhoads, 67, for more than sixteen years cashier of the First National Bank, and a leading central state banker, died at his home, 904 North Front Street, Sunbury, Thanksgiving Day morning at about 8 o'clock, of pneumonia, after a week's illness. He was taken ill with a severe cold, and this later developed into the dreaded affliction. He was thought to be improving earlier in the week, but took a turn for the worse, and gradually grew weaker until the end came.
His sorrowing family was at the bedside of the distinguished patient. A son, Thomas Rhoads, was found dead in bed at his home, shortly after his honorable discharge as a soldier of the World War. The funeral will be held from the house Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. D. S. Kammerer, of Trinity Lutheran Church, officiating. Burial will be made in Pomfret Manor Cemetery. It will be a Masonic funeral.
