Samuel Cade, farmer and stock raiser, Veedersburg, is one of the old and
respected citizens of Fountain county. He is a native of the county, and was
born February 4, 1826, and is the son of William and Martha (Campbell) Cade. His
father was born in Delaware October 4, 1788, and married his wife in Pickaway
county, Ohio, in 1823. She was born January 8, 1801, and in October, 1823, they
emigrated to Fountain county, Indiana, and settled in what is now Wabash
township. They were among the very first settlers of the county. In an early day
Mr. Cade used to run flat-boats down the Scioto river into the Ohio, thence to
New Orleans, and has walked back from New Orleans three different times to the
place of starting. After he came to Fountain county he took an active part in
all improvements, and was a zealous worker in the cause of religion, having
joined the Methodist church when a young man. He was called to try the realities
of the next world November 14, 1846, and his wife January 31, 1841. Samuel Cade,
the subject of this notice, was raised on a farm in Wabash township. He has
accumulated a large tract of land, consisting of 1,800 acres, all of which is
due to his energy and a close attention to business. He now owns the 160 acres
which his father bought at the land sales in 1822. He is also the owner of the
Union mills since 1873. He has one sister, Jane, who was born in this county May
3, 1824, and is probably the first born in the county. She married D. Patton, in
1844, and is now a resident of Ford county, Illinois. Mr. Cade has been twice
married: first time, in 1850, to Mary F. Conover. She died June 29, 1852. He
married again, January 4, 1855, Miss Eliza J. Clark, daughter of David and Mary
Clark. Mr. Cade has one child by first wife, William, and six by present wife:
Mary F. (wife of M. Nixon), Fannie O. (wife of H. Glasscock), Martha J., David
S., Clifford, and one deceased. (Carrie M).
