Rhoda Poralee Kellion [Rhoda Poralee Rhinehart]
Date Age 60 (b abt 1872)
Death 15 Nov 1932 Jefferson City, Jefferson, Tennessee
Father's name Rhinehart
The middle name on her death certificate is mistranscribed here, being Paralee in the handwriting. The transcriber was probably unfamiliar with this name. This was a fairly common name in that region and I have known at least one woman name Paralee in my lifetime. Here is Rhoda's full record from the death certificate.

Rhoda's father's surname is reported as Rhinehart. This is one common spelling. I find the name in various records spelled in a variety of ways. We finally settled on Rinehart for this genealogy, because this was the most frequent form found, and seems to be preferred by the family. The Rineharts are kin to both the Strange and the Gregory family, who are also intermarried. All these families, as well as the Lewis lineage, mingle in eastern Tennessee and moved westward into similar regions, north Texas and Oklahoma.
In the 1900 census, Rhoda is reported with her husband Joel (Lawson) Killian. In her household is Dorcas Rinehart, who is reproted as Joel's mother-in-law, and thus Rhoda's mother. But her age and details match Dorcas, the daughter of Isaac Rinehart. In the 1880 census in Isaac's household Rhoda's was the youngest child, at age 7, reported as the daughter of Isaac.

In 1880 Dorcas was the oldest child in Isaac's house at age 33, also reported as the daughter of Isaac. No wife is reported in the census. Likewise in 1870, Isaac was head of the home with no wife, and Dorcas was the oldest daughter at age 23. Dorcas in the household of Rhoda in 1900 was age 53, matching the previously reported ages for Dorcas as the daughter of Isaac Rinehart.
