Rhines, Wallace D., is a descendant of John Rhines, whose father, a native of Cologne, Germany, came to America
at the age of thirteen. John married and reared a family of seven children, of whom Philip came to Schroeppel,
and bought a farm. His three children were: William, Martin and Mary, all now living in Caughdenoy. Martin married
Anathema Sitts in 1858, and of these parents Wallace D., our subject was born in 1859. He has one sister, Flora,
who married Miner Van Auken, of Caughdenoy. Wallace attended the first grade district school at "the Ridge,"
and at the age of sixteen years began teaching in the River district school in Hastings. He taught three years
at Sand Ridge, attending school at Central Square during spring and fall. In 1878 he married Sarah, daughter of
Jonathan Peacock, who came from England and settled in Geddes, Onondaga county, later removing to Collamer. From
1879 to 1884 Mr. Rhines taught school in Caughdenoy, and in the latter year went to Constantia, where he has taught
continuously ever since, excepting two years in Cleveland, and he is regarded as a very successful teacher. For
the past nine years he has held the office of justice of the peace. Mr. Rhines owns a pleasant home and is a close
student. He has one son, Wallace M.
