JOHN M'GRUDER WADE, merchant, Blakely, Early Co, Ga., son of Wm.
H. Wade, was born in Screven county, Ga., Nov. 4, 1823. His father was a 
farmer, and for a number of years was a justice of the peace. In 1841 he 
removed with his family to Early county, where he died in 1856. Mr. Wade 
received only the meager educational advantages afforded by the county common 
schools of the day. When grown to manhood he began life for himself on the 
farm. Before the war, himself and his brother, Reuben, embarked in a general 
merchandise store in Blakely, and after the war, resumed the business, which 
has been attended with remarkable success. During the war Mr. Wade was a 
member and sergeant of Company G, Thirteenth Georgia regiment. When his 
brother died he continued the business and assumed control of the estate, and 
became guardian of his children. Mr. Wade was tax receiver of the county in 
1864. He is a master Mason, and was never married.
