Ebenezer M. Braden, farmer on section 13, Leroy Township, is the proprietor of 
80 acres of land lying adjacent to the 

village of Leroy and justly considered one of the most valuable places in the 
township in point of merit.  He was born 

Dec. 19, 1831, in Seneca Co., N.Y.

Louis Braden, his father, is a native of Seneca County, where he has spent his 
entire life, and is still a resident.  

His mother, Electa (Moore) Braden, is a native of the same State.  Their 
family comprises nine children, all of whom are 

living.  The parents are each 76 years old, and are in fine health.

Mr. Braden is the oldest of his parents' children, five of whom reside in the 
State of New York, the remaining four 

being residents of Michigan.  He remained at home until he was 22 years of 
age, and was instructed in all the details of 

farm labor.

He was married in the winter of 1856, in Victor, Ontario Co., N.Y., to Mary S. 
Pound.  She was born in August, 1831, in 

the State of New York; and died Sept. 21, 1869, in allegan Co., Mich., leaving 
four children, three of whom still 

survive her, - Cornelia, Charles D. and Clarence A.; Frank is deceased.  Mr. 
Braden was a second time married April 19, 

1871, in Texas Township, Kalamazoo Co., Mich., to Sarah A. Angell.  One child 
has been born of this marriage, - Ewell L. 

 Mrs. Braden was born Nov. 30, 1838, in Galen, Wayne Co., N.Y., and is the 
daughter of James and Lucy (Tabor) Angell.  

Her parents were natives respectively of Rhode Island and New Hampshire.   
They came to Michigan in 1868, settling in 

Kalamazoo County.  They passed the closing years of their lives in the home of 
their daughter in Osceola County.  The 

father died July 12, 1879, the mother, April 28, 1877.  They had 10 children.

Mr. Braden removed his family to Leroy Township May 6, 1873.  He operated as a 
saw-mill assistant three years, and in 

1876 bought 80 acres of land on which he has since established himself as one 
of the leading farmers in this portion of 

the county.  He is a decided Republican, and has been Supervisor one year.

He is a Baptist in religious faith and connection.
