J. A. Baddeley
	The influential and substantial stockman and agriculturist whose name 
heads this paragraph is one of Umatilla's esteemed citizens and enterprising 
business men, who has wrought out here a very flattering financial success, as 
well as gaining for himself and enviable position and reputation among his 
fellows. He was born in England, on February 8, 1851, being the son of William 
and Mary Baddeley, also of English descent. At the early age of fourteen years 
he turned to the new world to seek his fortune, and from that time he has made 
his way, gaining his present wealth by his own industry and wise management. 
His first occupation in the United States was in a flour mill in Wisconsin, 
where he remained for two years. Following this he was in Illinois and several 
other states operating in flour mills until 1878, when he came to Umatilla 
county. Here he continued for about six years in the flour mills of Weston, 
when, by careful economy, he had saved sufficient means to warrant his 
purchasing land, his first venture being about six miles north from Weston. 
Later he bought where he now lives, one and one-half miles north from Weston. 
In this place he owns, in partnership with G. A. Hartman, five hundred and 
sixty acres of well improved and fertile soil. He practices the diversified 
plan of farming handling considerable stock, graded short-horn cattle, of 
which they own nearly fifty head, and trotting horses. He owns the famous 
horse, "Old Caution," a registered trotter, and a number of his colts, four of 
which are in training in Pendleton. They also own considerable land about 
twenty miles west from here.
	Our subject was married on November 22, 1879, to Mary E. Morgan, 
daughter of J. S. Morgan, an old pioneer of this county. To this union have 
been born three children: James E., Joseph C., Bertie B. He affiliates with 
the Woodmen of the World, in Weston. Mr. Baddeley enjoys the esteem of his 
fellows, having ever demeaned himself in a commendable manner to inspire the 
confidence from his fellows and acquaintances.
