Lutheran Church parsonage by the Rev.

First Lutheran Church.
She received her education in the St.
Ansgar schools, graduating with the
class of 1936, then continuing her
education at Iowa State University in
Ames.
In 1940, she went to Elm Grove, Wis., to
help care for a new nephew. While there,
she attended the Milwaukee Business
Institute.
She was employed as a cost accountant
for the Blatz Brewing Co. and worked in
Milwaukee as an accountant until her
marriage to Darwin Ross Rhoades on Sept.
15, 1945, at First Lutheran Church in
St. Ansgar.
She lived with her mother until her
husband finished his enlistment in the
U.S. Navy in October 1948.
The next year they started farming the
Wirth family farms east of St. Ansgar.
Her mother lived with them until she
could build a house in town for herself
and her brother, Charles.
Alice was active in serving her church
by teaching Sunday school, serving as
president of the Cemetery Society, (even

serving with the First Lutheran Church
Women's Group, the Deborah Circle and

the high school's physical education
program and operated a very successful
youth bowling program with many
individuals and teams qualifying for
state tournaments.
The adult leagues included men's,
women's and mixed doubles, also sending
many bowlers to state tournaments. Many
town residents thank Alice and Dusty for
teaching them the sport and for their
dedication to the sport and the
community. In return, they thank the
community for all of the support they
received. They sold the bowling alley in
1970. It is still in operation today.
