In early manhood, Mr. Rodenbough wedded Miss Mary Ann Axtell, a native of Pennsylvania, who in early life went to Illinois with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Axtell. The children of this union were: Wilbert Elsworth, now deceased; George Thomas, of Idaho, and Flora Bell, the wife of Nathan Moore, of Pendleton, Oregon. In 1873, having lost his first wife, Mr. Rodenbough was again married, his second union being with Miss Eunice Dilley, who was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, August 6, 1839, and when two years of age went to Warren County, Illinois, with her parents, William and Mary (Axtell) Dilley, who were likewise natives of the Keystone state. Some years later they removed to Sterling, Kansas, where their last days were passed. Prior to their removal from Illinois, their daughter Eunice became the wife of Mr. Rodenbough. She was a relative of his first wife, her grandfather and his first wife’s father had been cousins. Three children have been born of the second marriage: Mary Ann Elizabeth, the wife of John Mills, who is residing in the second dwelling on the old homestead farm, and by whom she has five children; William Herbert, who is living with his mother and has three children; Mrs. Nettie May Williams, who died in Mahaska County, Iowa. There are now twenty-five grandchildren.
