   JAMES W. LADEN, farmer, was born in Rush County, Ind., August 12, 1835, and
is the son of Ingersoll Laden; he spent his youth on the farm, and in 1853,
removed with his parents to Tipton County, Ind. At the age of twenty-one, he
engaged as a teamster for James Foust, driving four or five yokes of cattle; he
subsequently worked in a mill, and for two years acted as fireman. In February,
1864, he engaged in fanning on the land where he now lives; he started in the
green, and through unceasing toil has made a good home. In 1876, he engaged in
mercantile pursuits with a general stock in Windfall, and during the winter of
1879 he took charge of the City Hotel at Tipton. The rest of his time has been
spent upon the farm where he now lives; he has been a hard-working, industrious
farmer, and is politically a member of the Democratic party. Mr. Laden was
married, June 27, 1860, to Miss Ella Pulliam, of Tipton County. She died a few
years later, leaving one daughter-Ida. Mr. Laden was next married in November,
1864, to his present wife, Miss Elizabeth Deer, of this county; she is the
daughter of John Deer, one of the pioneer farmers of Wild Cat Township. This
marriage has been crowned with eight children, seven of whom are living-Estella,
Lula, Delia, Lillie, Bessie, Rollie and Ingersoll.
