   Elvin Spencer Hadley, attorney, of Wichita, Kan., is a native of the Hawkeye
State, having been born at Richland, Keokuk county, Iowa, on November 11, 1868.
His parents were Spencer I. and Louisa W. (Ecroyd) Hadley, Mr. Hadley, Sr.,
being a native of North Carolina and Mrs. Hadley of Pennsylvania. They came to
Kansas in 1879, and in the fall of that year took up a section of government
land in Kingman county, but later moved to Reno county, where they now reside.
Elvin S. Hadley obtained his early education in the public schools of Iowa and
Kansas, and in the high school of Sterling, Kan. He came to Wichita in 1903, and
for a short time was employed in the mercantile business, but abandoned this for
the field of real estate, in the meantime pursuing the study of law in the
office of Stanley & Stanley, and was admitted to the bar in June, 1909. His
career furnishes a good illustration of what a young man, with energy and brains
and a determination to succeed, can attain to. Mr. Hadley was married in 1891 to
Miss Madge Eastman, of Lawrence county, Indiana. From this union four children
have been born, viz.: Mabel, Irdle, Vera and Wayne.
