Reverend Seth Dana BARDEN, United Brethren Church - married TWICE. Information available states he was born in ELROY, Juneau County probably about 1859. Parents Horace McKendry BARDEN (b. Canada, 1833 ?Leeds? Ont). Background information. Matthew GREEN and Amelia FORD. Daughter Elsie J. GREEN noted marrying Seth Dana BARDEN at New Haven, Dunn County, WI on 31 May 1890. Published in Dunn County News 13 Jun 1890. I have absolutely NO information on any of these GREENs prior to this ... and especially Elsie J. Green BARDEN departed via hot air balloon shortly after. I guess that probably Elsie died in childbirth possibly circa 1891/1892. I need information on this GREEN family. Who is Amelia FORD? Who might be the parents of Amelia FORD. Witnesses to the marriage with Elsie J. GREEN were Seth's sister Mary C. (Barden) CLARK wife of EDMUND A. CLARK and Franklin M. BARDEN (brother). Mary/Edmund CLARK marriage at New Haven, DUNN County on 4 July 1886. Published in Dunn County News July 31 Jul 1886. Seth, Mary and Franklin are children of Horace McKendry BARDEN and Phoebe L. BLOOD. I need information on the CLARKs, BLOODs, FORDs and Franklin BARDEN and Horace BARDEN. About four years later Seth Dana BARDEN is noted marrying Minnie Ann FRENCH at Prairie Farm, Barron County (about 20 miles north) on 25 December 1894 by Methodist Episcopal Minister Reverend Paul HULL. Note that Reverend Seth BARDEN is with the United Brethren Church. While married to Elsie GREEN he served at FENNIMORE, Grant County, WI. So details about Elsie may center around FENNIMORE (near Prairie du Chien). His preaching career while married to Minnie Ann French BARDEN was in the general Barron, Dunn, Rusk & Chippewa Counties area. If anyone can relate to this CLARK, GREEN, FORD or BLOOD families I sure would appreciate any information. Also need information on Franklin M. BARDEN --- next noted in obituary Markville, MN circa 1940 ... buried Danbury, Burnett, WI. Thank you, Don Barden, Satsuma, FL
