    Ferd Bader. Among the popular and useful citizens of Cincinnati, few are
better known than Ferd Bader, sheriff of Hamilton county, who has been almost
continuously before the public in public positions of responsibility for many
years. Sheriff Bader was born at Cincinnati, November 25, 1867, a son of Ferd
Bader, Sr., now deceased. His boyhood was passed in the environment of a big
city and his education was acquired in the public schools. As a lad he was
industrious and energetic, and when he left school went to work at once as
office boy for W. W. Scarborough. Subsequently he applied himself to learning
the trade of machinist, and when he had this mastered, worked thereat until he
received the appointment to the office of clerk of the marriage license bureau
at the City Hall. This was the first of a long series of appointments, which
have extended over a. period of many years and which have been characterized by
able and conscientious service. When he left the marriage license bureau, Mr.
Bader was made a deputy in the Probate Court, and this was followed by his
appointment to the superintendency of the work house. It was in the latter
capacity that Mr. Bader displayed the qualities that brought him before the
public prominently, as a suitable and desirable candidate for the shrievalty and
in the elections of November, 1918, he was given a splendid majority and began
his service not long afterward as sheriff of Hamilton county. Mr. Bader has made
a good sheriff, careful, faithful and courageous in the performance of his duty.
He has won the confidence of the public and has added to a reputation that was
already characterized by fidelity and efficiency in the performance of arduous
duties and the discharge of important responsibilities. Sheriff Bader is
prominent in fraternal circles, being a York Rite Mason and a noble of the
Mystic Shrine, as well as a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks and the Knights of Pythias. He likewise holds membership in the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce and the Cincinnati Automobile Club and possesses many
friendships among men in high stations in life. October n, 1899, Sheriff Bader
was united in marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Christian Becker, of
Cincinnati, and to this union there have been born three children: Ferd, Jr.,
William and Elizabeth, all residing at home.
