Mr. Wade was born in Highland county, Ohio, June 6, 1817, and at the ge of twelve moved with his parents to Indiana, where at the age of twenty-three years he was united in marriage to Miss Race. To them were born six children, three of whom preceded him. He was again united in mariage to Miss Susan A. Fletcher in 1862. In the fall of 1866 he removed with his family to Fremont couhty, Iowa. His second wife departed this life in 1877. His son Jack Wade, of Omaha, arrived at his bedside a short time before he passed away. The funeral took place from the home of his daughter on Friday, Feb. 19th, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Redd cemetery to await the morning of the resurrection. N.B.: The thank you note which appeared in the same paper, was signed by Mrs. W.S. Bartholomew and by A. J. Wade.--SO--one can guess the son's name was Andrew Jackson "Jack" Wade. The obituary of the third child mentioned in the obituary as yet living, appears immediately after his.--W.F.
