Samuel H. Hadley

As printed in 1882

SAMUEL H. HADLEY, farmer, P. 0. Wilmington, was born in the territory now comprised in Adams Township, Clinton County, May 18, 1824. His parents were Jacob and Mary (Butler) Hadley, the former a native of North Carolina, and the latter of Georgia, and both of English extraction. Jacob came to Clinton County in 1809 with his parents, John and Lydia (Harvey) Hadley, who settled on Todd’s Fork. Our subject was reared on the farm, and has made farming the occupation of his life. He has a fine farm of 200 acres three miles from Wilmington, on which there is a beautiful elevation upon which his residence was built. Ho was married, in 1847, to Emily Johnson, who was born in Warren County, Ohio, and died in 1849, two years after her marriage. In 1851, Mr. Hadley was again married to Ruth Smith, a native of Clark County, Ohio, by whom he has had six children — Orlando (now married and farming in Clinton County), Emily J. (the wife of E. A. Lewis, banker of Sabina), Alice (who graduated at Wilmington College in 1878, and is now a teacher in the

Sabina Public School), Mary D. (now the wife of Mr. Lacy, a farmer of Union Township), Anna and Eva J., both of whom are now in college at Wilmington. Mr. Hadley and all of his family are members of the Society of Friends. He is a stanch and enthusiastic Republican. He is a man of decided convictions, and expresses his opinions without regard to public opinion. His farm is well improved, and has about it that air of neatness and order that characterizes the home of a perfect farmer.
