  GEORGE SLADE, proprietor of the Slade hotel, Adrian, is one of the early

settlers of the west end of the county, having resided there since he was

twenty-one years of age. Mr. Slade was born in Albany, N. Y., July 21, 1854, the

son of William and Sarah B. (Sheppard) Slade.



  William Slade, our subject's father, was born at Winhall, Bennington county,

Vermont, March 16, 1822, moved to Troy, N. Y., with his parents when five years

of age, and to Albany a few years later. He moved to Merrimack, Wis., in 1855,

to Baraboo, Wis., in 1868, and to Nobles county in 1885, where he died Sept. 29,

1889. Our subject's mother was born in New London, N. H., and died in Wisconsin

April 27, 1859.



  Geo. Slade was taken to Merrimack, Wis., by his parents when a child, and

there he lived on a farm until he became of age. He attended the common schools

of Merrimack and completed his education in Jefferson Liberal Institute, of

Jefferson, Wis. In May, 1875, he came to Nobles county and took as a homestead

the southeast quarter of section 14, Westside township—land which he still owns.

For a time after his arrival in the county, Mr. Slade worked on the farm of Ira

E. Crosby, three miles west of the present city of Adrian. He then farmed his

own place ten years. Removing to the village of Adrian, he purchased the Central

hotel of L. S. Roberts and ran it five years. He then tore down the building and

erected in its place the handsome brick block in which are housed the Hotel

Slade, the First National Bank and Albert Zollmer's saloon. Mr. Slade conducts

one of the best hotels in southwestern Minnesota. He owns the Hotel Slade livery

barn, which is run in connection with the hotel.



  Mr. Slade was married at Worthington, Dec. 28, 1879, to Annette R. Dunham, who

had been a school teacher in the Crosby district of Westside township. To Mr.

and Mrs. Slade have been born three sons and three daughters, all living. They

are Roxy (Mrs. Fred Schuster), born in Westside township Aug. 30, 1880, now

living at Rochester, Minn.; Charles W., born in Westside township Nov. 12, 1883;

Musie, born in Adrian July 23, 1885; Max D., born in Adrian Nov. 23, 1888;

Doris, born in Adrian March 1, 1891; Fred D., born in. Adrian April 2, 1896.



  Mr. Slade has been a member of the Masonic order twenty-two years. He has

served as deputy county sheriff for the last ten years and served two terms on

the Adrian village council.
