Rev. J. C. Rhoades Finds Grave of Father After Long Search.

Rev. J. C. Rhodes, pastor of the First Baptist church of Vincennes, and for a number of years the pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, has just learned the burying place of his father, who was a member of Co. F, of the 51st regiment of Indiana volunteers. He was shot through the abdomen early during the war and left by the roadside to die. He did not die, however, and lived for several years after the war but never returned to the north and never let his family know he was alive. He was buried near Nashville, Tenn., and Rev. Rhoades has just come into possession of the information that will enable him to locate the grave. A telegram from Shelbyville states that an effort will be inade to have the remains disinterred and brought back to this state for burial.
