Edwin W. Bade, a prominent farmer of Lake Township, was born in section 
36, this township, November 14, 1893, son of Henry E. and Adeline (Haase) 
Bade. His education was acquired in the district school and he 
subsequently had a year’s training in the Minnesota Agricultural College, 
which added to the knowledge he had already gained in practical farm work 
while associated with his father. After the father’s death in April, 1914, 
the entire management of the home farm fell into his hands, and he has 
since operated it on a profitable basis, his mother for a while keeping 
house for him. This is one of the best farms in the northern part of 
the county and contains 327 acres, of which 240 are in Lake Township and 
the remainder in West Albany Township. Two hundred and forty acres are

Duroc-Jersey swine. The residence is a two-story modern frame house, 
consisting of an upright and wing, and the farm buildings include a frame 
barn 40 by 80 by 18 feet, with a full basement of 9 feet and a cement 
floor; a granary 24 by 36 by 10, containing an elevator; a buggy shed, 
engine house, machine shed, and well house, and new 32 by 20 hog house, 
all substantial structures, most of which were erected by himself and 
his father. The house contains nine rooms, including bath and toilet; 
is wired for electric light, and furnished with hot and cold water. Mr. 
Bade’s equipment includes a five-passenger auto car. Enterprising and 
industrious, he is making good progress, having a fine records behind 
him which he is trying to excel. Politically he is a member of the Non-

and Mary Palmer, of Lake Township, and he and his wife are the parents of 
three children: Mildred Adeline Mary, born May 3, 1917; Eleanor Agnes,
