James Hadley

As printed in 1882

JAMES HADLEY, farmer, P. 0. Ogden, was born July 2V, 1846, in Clinton County; is the son of Samuel L. and Mary J. Hadley. Samuel L. was born January 30, 1821, and son of Jonathan and Rebecca Hadley, who were among the early settlers of Clinton County. He was reared on a farm, received but a limited education, and married Miss Mary J. Harvey, daughter of Eli and Sarah Harvey. They are the parents of nine children, viz., James, Anselm, Calvin, Emma, Anna, Edwin William P., and three who are deceased. He is the owner of about one hundred and thirty acres of land in the southwestern portion of Adams Township, on which land he at present resides; is a member of the Friends’ Society, and may well be classed among the worthy citizens of Adams Township. James, the subject of our present sketch, was reared on a farm, and attended a district school. When about twenty years of age, he attended, for two terms, the Spiceland Academy in Henry County, Ind., and subsequently attended a select school at the Springfield Meeting-House, taught by Mr. Calvin Pritchard, in Adams Township, under the control of the Friends’ Society, and attended here a few months. On September 9, 1869, he married Miss Isabella A. Moore, daughter of John Haines and Ruth Moore. This union has been blessed with three children, viz., Edgar L., Alontie H. and Louie May. He received from his father, fifty acres of land about, two miles west of Sligo, on the Lebanon Free Turnpike road, and by subsequent purchase has acquired a farm of eighty-nine acres of land, and, in 1871, erected thereon a fine new dwelling-house. He is a member of the Friends’ Society. In his political views, he is a Republican. Mr. Hadley is a young man of whom Adams Township may well be proud, and well worthy a record in the annals of Clinton County.
